Inspired
by the bold, highly legible design of traditional military and aviation
watches, the Ref. 1102 features a substantial 42mm ion-plated stainless steel
case paired with a black dial and canvas strap. The combination gives the watch
a rugged, purposeful appearance while remaining comfortable for everyday wear.
The
black dial features large Arabic numerals, baton hands, a center sweep seconds
hand, and a convenient date window. Its straightforward layout emphasizes the
excellent legibility traditionally associated with pilot and field watches.
The
watch is powered by a reliable quartz movement with stem setting. The case,
dial, and movement are all rated C1 / D1 / M1 – As New, New Old Stock
condition.
Of particular interest is the completeness of this example. It retains the original inner and outer presentation boxes, instruction materials, and original hang tag. For a collector seeking an unused or exceptionally well-preserved SZANTO watch, the complete presentation makes this example considerably more desirable than a watch offered by itself.
Military
& Aviator-Inspired Design
The Ref. 1102 draws heavily from the practical design
language traditionally associated with military field and
aviator watches.
The large Arabic numerals against the black dial provide
excellent visual contrast, while the substantial 42mm
case, baton hands, and canvas strap reinforce its utilitarian
character.
Rather than presenting this example as a military-issued
watch, it is more accurately described as a military-style
or aviator-style wristwatch—capturing the appearance of
purpose-built military timepieces in a contemporary design.
Why Collect This SZANTO
Ref. 1102?
The appeal of this example lies in the combination of its
bold styling and exceptional completeness.
Its 42mm ion-plated
stainless steel case, black Arabic numeral dial, canvas strap, and quartz
movement create a practical everyday watch with a distinctive
military-inspired appearance.
