Sicura Owner Review : Surprising, radiant and sparkling

A typical watch from the 70s, this Sicura Diver is as rare to find as the wait I had to wait to get it. In its original condition, it needed a good polishing on the case and the bracelet was not original, so I changed it and got a two-tone Jubilee to honor it. It must be admitted that its mechanical movement with manual winding is not a lightning bolt of war, in fact it is rather low-end for the time. However, it is still running after 50 years. Precision being secondary to me, I don't mind winding it up and setting the time when I wear it. The hesalite glass is quite fragile, but superbly domed which gives it a crazy charm. The dial is champagne with applied indexes without Lum. A fluted bi-directional bezel with 15min indications, which absolutely does not make it a Diver, as its name indicates... But hey. It is undoubtedly one of the least expensive of my watches and yet its assertive character and its shape which combines Tool Watch and diving watch particularly successful for the time surely makes it one of my favorites.
