In many cases, these type of 'house brand' products are fairly low quality, designed to be a low-level entry point for their customers, as well as a branding exercise. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNot so in this case!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOffered here is a Watches Of Switzerland branded Seafarer Automatic produced in the 1960s, a high quality Swiss Made timepiece befitting the retailer's commitment -- both then and now -- to exceptional quality and service. The watch is fitted in a 35mm steel case supplied by EPSA, the leading producer of Compressor and Super Compressor diving cases as used by brands such as Hamilton and Jaeger-LeCoultre during the golden age of diving watches. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe movement is a three hand date automatic by ETA, a Swiss manufacture powerhouse now owned by The Swatch Group, and the dial is a dark grey sunburst pattern with applied faceted indices, a framed date window, ornate applied Watches Of Switzerland crest, and Tritium luminous plots. An acrylic crystal provides warmth to the entire package, and an EPSA-sourced cross-hatched winding crown ties the entire package together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRegarding the name 'Seafarer' \u003cem\u003eand\u003c\/em\u003e the fonts used on the dial, we are keen to believe that these watches were likely produced under contract by Heuer - although we are yet to confirm this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRegardless of who did assembly of this beauty, it is an exceptional little watch with a story that is now part of our own.
