Sci-Fi Prop or Vintage Gem? Reviving a Nearly NOS Croton Aquamatic Watch
Weekend Watch RepairJun 7, 2024
Join us as we dive into the fascinating world of watch restoration with a truly unique project: This is a Croton Aquamatic watch, and it is certainly unique, featuring a distinctive crown positioned at 6 o'clock, and an eye-catching UFO-style case that looks straight out of a sci-fi movie. Despite its quirky design, the watch was in remarkable cosmetic condition when we found it. It is using an AS 1903 movement.
In this video, we'll guide you through the entire rebuild process. We'll work meticulously to preserve the original crystal, using various techniques to bring it back to its former glory. Alongside this, we'll rebuild all the internal components to ensure the watch runs perfectly.
Whether you're a watch enthusiast, a sci-fi fan, or just curious about the art of restoration, this video has something for you. Watch as we bring this eccentric Croton watch back to life.
Enjoy the video!
