Chunky LED madness

[Phasar66]

I had run across a few of this early Compuchrons before but all were trashed. the sunburst finish on this model specially being so big is prone to scratches and wear.
A friend gave this one last week that all it saw was one pair of batteries on its entire life then put away. the batteries had leaked and the Crystal was brittle and crack from age.
After an ultrasonic bath and a new module and crystal, Look at me now, big and chunky goodness.

The sunburst finish is one of my favourite styling. Thanks for posting these pictures! How´s the case quality or the general quality of that watch?

On this watch the Sunburst does the trick, is such a simple design that with out it it will have no appeal at all. The case quality is very good with thick plating and nice SS case-back with battery hatches that was the norm on almost all later Compuchrons. It was follow by some even nicer ones all SS and mineral glass screen with baked logo of about the same size in the early 70s . Later in the mid 70s their watches got king of mid size Everything got even better when they adopted the Sanyo module and went to a bigger size, this are my favorites. At the end They went even to a smaller size and that was it for the LED era
