Atlantic Worldmaster Original, circa 1970s
The Atlantic Worldmaster Original from the 1970s pairs a generous 38 mm stainless steel case with a period-correct acrylic crystal and a carefully restored dial bearing the traditional "17 Jewels" and "Incabloc" markings. Under the caseback sits the manual-wind Caliber 696N (FHF 96), a robust mid-century movement renowned for straightforward serviceability and dependable daily performance. For the contemporary collector, this watch offers a clear expression of vintage Swiss utilitarian design—compact elegance, mechanical character, and accessible maintenance—making it a sensible addition to a thoughtfully curated collection.
