Description
Before Abercrombie & Fitch was the "middle of the mall store" as Jeff Stein coined it, the company was the preeminent destination for outdoor sporting apparel. Among the high-quality goods you would expect to find were the incredible sports watches by Heuer. The most desirable models from the retailer would be the Seafarer. This reference 2443 is the first of two variants with the "psychedelic" tidal register in graduated colors. It is much more similar to the Seafarer reference 346. The later version had more of a Tiffany blue color in the minute register and the tidal register was both that Tiffany blue color and yellow rather than graduated colors. All of these early Seafarer models are extremely rare. The watch features a Valjoux 72 movement which was modified to incorporate a tide complication. The case appears to be unpolished. The bottom right lug is bent from an impact. The dial is weathered, but appears to be original. It is paired on a contemporary beads of rice bracelet. The lume in the hands has been redone. The watch does not come with box and papers. It was recently serviced and is running well.
