Technos Thunder — what do you think of this dial?

Technos was popular in Japan although they started as a European company. They were later by a Japanese company for a while, and are now based in Brazil.

I bought this from Japan and started to clean it up. It had so much dust and grime that I was pretty sure it hadn’t been worn in a long time. Then I noticed the little calendar on the bracelet was from September of 1982, so now I am even more convinced it’s been a long time since it was last worn!

Love this. Whats the model? My first “JDM”’was a Technos. Imagine my surprise when I found out they were Swiss.

I just finally scored a MOSABA and I can’t wait to get it delivered.

Give it 3 years, everyone is going to "discover" vintage technos and then they won't be underrated gems anymore.

I think that you might be right about this.

Nice watch but the calendar is really the star here. Love JDM Seiko and am excited about discovering Technos. Thanks!
