Though often overlooked today, the company played a meaningful role throughout 20th-century horology, even accompanying astronaut Neil Armstrong during the Gemini 8 mission. The brand consistently balanced technical ingenuity with distinctly period-driven design, and few watches capture that spirit better than this remarkable dual-time wristwatch from the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in a striking gold-plated integrated bracelet case, this piece embodies the bold futurism of the era through its sculptural form and richly textured finish. Its defining feature is the elegant dual-time display, powered by opposing Cal. 5K manual-wind movements and operated independently via slim crowns positioned at both 3 and 9 o’clock. The contrasting champagne and deep purple sub-dials, each adorned with stylized Breguet numerals, create a playful yet sophisticated visual balance rarely seen in vintage watch design. Equal parts functional travel watch and avant-garde statement piece, this Wittnauer stands as a wonderfully eccentric example of 1970s creativity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"47%\"\u003eStock #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"2%\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"47%\"\u003eWITDT5025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWittnauer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual-Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSerial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e083XX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnisex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold-Plated Stainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChampagne \u0026amp; Purple\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMillimeters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 X 27\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBracelet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated Gold-Plated Bracelet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCASE \u0026amp; BRACELET\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe space-age oval-shaped gold-plated case features a unique textural finish and remains in excellent condition, showing no notable evidence of being previously polished and only light signs of honest use.
