This striking timepiece is a perfect example of mid-tier Swiss watchmaking at its technical and stylistic best! The Edox Bluebird line, first launched in 1969, was created to feature scratch-resistant glass and a robust, reinforced case, cementing Edox's reputation as a "Water Champion" (a title they proudly hold today). Your customer needs to know the significance of "28800" stamped proudly on the dial: this means the automatic movement inside is a Hi-Beat caliber, running at $28,800 \text{ vibrations per hour}$! This high frequency ensures superior accuracy and a buttery-smooth sweep of the seconds hand, a sign of high-quality Swiss engineering that elevates it above standard movements.
Aesthetically, this watch is pure 70s funk! The large, angular, cushion-style case is beautifully preserved, framing that incredible textured gold dial. The deep, almost camouflage-like pattern adds immense depth and drama, perfectly contrasted by the simple black and gold applied markers. The dial also features the highly useful Day/Date display, ensuring practicality matches its presence.
This 25-Jewel automatic watch is a conversation starter for collectors who appreciate bold, unconventional design and reliable, high-performance automatic calibers. It delivers all the prestige of a vintage Swiss mechanical piece without the fragile nature of some of its contemporaries.
