This is a recent restoration of a very nice elegant vintage watch. Avia was a Swiss brand and this watch houses a Peseux 7040 Swiss hand winding movement. Its all about the dial on this one as there is not much case on show! Arabic numerals at the 12,3,6 & 9 although at 6 its a bit cut off due to the subdial.
Case is gold plated either 5 or 10 microns, I cant seem to read it on the hallmark. Acrylic crystal that I have cleaned up to make the dial pop.
Movement has been completely overhauled and serviced and is now running really well and accurate.
Please note this watch has no waterproofing at all, there are no gaskets for the caseback or the crown so its best to keep well away from any liquid!
Fitted on a Speidel flexiband to finish the full on grandad look. These are old school bracelets and on this one I just think it works. equally though it will work on a nice black or brown strap.
Dimensions
Case Diameter 33mm (wears bigger, see videos)

from 34 reviewsAnother great watch fromTime-Tees all working perfectly and looks great.
Many thanks.
Even more beautiful in person, thanks Mike
This is number4 watch that I have purchased from Time tees and they are all brilliant , well serviced and exactly described in the video descriptions .
Am really pleased with my purchase, the watch is lovely and is nicer than I was expecting it to be.
I’ll certainly be buying again in the future
This is my first Technos and I must say I am impressed, There is so much light play going on in a refined way, the dial has "Geneva stripes", the Sapphire glass is facetted, so I just sit in the sun, admiring what happens, when I move my hand. I often ask myself afterwards, "What was the time?" and I have to look again. Due to the case is Tungsten/Wolfram, there is not a scratch on it, it looks like new, arriving with a time machine from the 70ts.
The price was a bargain, and as it was stated in the description, it is due to the small beautiful bracelet, that only my wife can wear, but she won't. ;-)
So I have put it on a leather strap, and it looks perfect, for office and party.
I am a very happy customer
The watch is absolutely gorgeous and gently humming away and another stunning tribute to Mikes skill. It's on the green rally strap which complements it perfectly. However, my wife has taken a shine to it and now wears it when it goes with her blouse, handbags, shoes etc.
Oh well its a good excuse buy another watch!
I love the 70's and I love this watch, case shape and dressy white dial. Delivered with a nice Croc. embossed leather strap and protective film on the spotless dial glass. I am very happy that this is now my watch, it's clearly a keeper.
I love my new Seiko, judging from your Web pictures and the description I knew something special was to be sent to me and oh my what a dial!, it looks like nothing I have seen before, like brown or golden colors on a bark structure, it plays with the light give all these colors.
Bracelet is beautiful smooth with its small links. The whole watch is simply a winner and I am so happy to be the owner :-)
Tshirt is top quality. Will return for another soon.
