Technos Borazon Tungsten Case Gold Dial 1980s
A striking and increasingly collectible Technos Borazon dress watch from the 1980s, this Swiss-made timepiece showcases the brand’s experimentation with advanced materials and bold geometric design during the era.
The defining feature of this model is its Borazon (tungsten carbide) case, an exceptionally hard and wear-resistant material prized for its brilliance and durability, second only to diamond. The faceted octagonal case is paired with a distinctive computer-generated gold-tone dial, creating a sharp, architectural aesthetic that feels unmistakably period-correct while remaining wearable today.
This example features a clean date display at 3 o’clock and classic bar indices, offering a refined yet unconventional alternative to more common Swiss dress watches of the time.
