Product Details

This isn’t quartz. This is early electric horology—the dangerous middle ground between mechanical and Accutron-era madness. The North Star Electric uses a battery-powered balance system, not a quartz crystal. You can see the tech working through the caseback—gears, coils, and jewels humming with mid-century ambition. This is the era when watchmakers were experimenting recklessly… and some of it survived. Gold-tone case, clean silver dial, applied markers, and a date window that snaps with vintage authority. Honest wear throughout. No polishing. No hiding its age. Just truth on the wrist. Details from the dark: • Early electric (pre-quartz) movement • Date display • Vintage gold-tone case • Visible electric balance system • Aftermarket leather strap • Running at time of listing (service history unknown)
