Techne's Hummingbird

Post by AtomicTom » Thu Dec 21, 2017 9:23 am

Did anyone see the Hummingbird from Techne yet? Saw it while looking around today
guys. ..Looks like the watch gets it's name from the 1920's Royal Air Force's training
plane of the same name, and has these dyed, and bead-blasted titanium cases.

Just a few of the specifications include those 39mm dyed, and bead-blasted
titanium cases in reed green, black, blue, and brown, 30m WR, mineral crystals,
working temperature range of -5 degrees Celsius to + 50 degrees Celsius, anti-
magnetism 1,600 A/m, black dials with luminescent numbers, markers, and hands,
orange second hand, and nylon strap. Then inside is the Seiko caliber VH31 quartz
with sweep seconds everybody.

Here is a look...

Saw these at Long Island Watch, and then visited Techne's site everybody...

I'm intrigued by the sweep quartz movement. Makes a simple watch very interesting.
