1978 Oceanographer
An excellent quality modern watch with the ETA 2879, the slower (21,600) beat version of the 2878. These were made concurrently with the more well known ETA workhorse, the 2824, which boasted the faster beat rate of 28,800. Very underrated, in my opinion, these watches and the Sevilles were top drawer and to get this kind of quality today, you would be paying upwards of $500.
Oceanographer it is.
I have a couple Oceanographers with the 10K gold bezel and it is noted as such on the case back. I have this model also with a case number R309 inside the case back. Does anyone know if some of the Oceanographers were made with a non-10K Bezel. I could pop it off and test it but the case and bezel are in nearly perfect condition so I really do not want to remove the bezel to test it and end up damaging it.
Thanks!
