Technos Technabird Automatic, Silver Dial with Calendar, Stainless Steel TV Case, circa 1970s

Dealer description — Vintage Watch Specialist

A stylish and bold 1970s Technos with a sculptural stainless steel case and a practical day-date function Technos was founded in 1900 by Melchior Günzinger in Welschenrohr, Switzerland, initially producing pocket watch movements before expanding into wristwatches. The brand gained a reputation for reliable, well-made timepieces, particularly in export markets across South America and Asia. Known for robust everyday watches, Technos combined Swiss craftsmanship with accessible pricing. Although less prominent in Europe today, the name remains recognised globally, especially in Brazil, where it continues to operate successfully. What's on Offer A striking 1970s Technos Technabird automatic, full of bold, confident design cues from the era. The wide, brushed stainless steel case gives it real presence on the wrist, with an unusual crown placement at the lower right adding to its distinctive feel. The silver dial is clean but well thought out—each applied index is paired with a lumed pip, working in harmony with the lume-filled, chunky hands for improved visibility in low light. A central seconds hand and day-date aperture add everyday practicality. Powered by the reliable ETA 2630 automatic movement, this is a robust and dependable watch, housed in a case that feels every bit as solid as it looks. Finished on its original stainless steel Technos bracelet, this is a strong, wearable vintage piece with plenty of character.
