Exona Lunastar

Why We Love It

There is no doubt that diving watches hold a special place in the hearts of many collectors, ourselves included. In fact, Analog:Shift was founded with its eyes set on vintage divers.

So many interesting watch brands have been lost to time. From the well-known to the completely unrecognizable, any number of Swiss brands failed to survive the Quartz Crisis of the 1970s, folding completely and disappearing or being rolled up into conglomerates that pillaged their stores of parts.

Exona is one such brand.

Frankly, we couldn't find out much about them - other than that this model was also branded 'Lunamar' under the 'Ermano' brand. We imagine that they both were what we would call a "boutique brand" in the watch world today. What we DO know is that this watch from circa the 1970s is just plain cool.

Featuring a 43mm stainless steel cushion case with a domed acrylic crystal, an automatic-winding ETA movement, an internal rotating count-down bezel operated by the crown at the 2:30 position, an aqua vignette dial with applied luminous indices and a matching handset - both with a stunning patina - and perhaps one of the coolest casebacks that we have ever come across... 

Watches such as this one are fun and wonderful timepieces, and there's no telling if and when one of these in any condition, let alone excellent condition such as this example, will surface again.

So dont wait!
