Pulsar LED P3 3100 Time Computer Stainless Steel 1974 Excellent W/Box

Description: This Pulsar LED P3 3100 Time Computer is a vintage piece from 1974 with a silver stainless steel bracelet and a silver case finish. It features a red dial with day/night and date indicators, as well as a 12-hour dial. The watch is powered by a quartz movement and comes with its original box and papers, as well as a manual/booklet. The deployant closure ensures a secure fit, while the screwback caseback adds a touch of elegance. This wristwatch is a classic addition to any collection, with a casual and vintage style that is sure to impress. This watch comes in its original Time Computer Brown Clamshell box and original, unrepaired 3013 magnet-set module. Original setting magnet still in bracelet clasp. Remarkably, this watch retains its full, 15-link bracelet; can fit an 8" wrist.The Date/Command was Time Computer's flagship model. Introduced in the fall of 1973 (along with the Date2, which was not available until early 1974), it was the first Pulsar to offer the Date feature. The designer, Jean Wuischpard, also did design work for Bulova and Omega. It was an immediate, roaring success, eventually becoming available in no less than ten variations, some of which, especially the 18K models, are extremely rare (for instance, the 3140, done in all-solid 18K gold, is known to the extent of less than ten). In stainless and gold filled, it is the most-available of any of the Pulsar models, with an estimated production of 130-150 thousand pieces. Perhaps a third (or as few as a fourth) of those are still functioning, 50 years later, making working watches highly desirable collector's items. Examples in exceptionally good condition, as we see here, are particularly sought-after. Considering that this watch just celebrated its 50th birthday, it still looks as futuristic now, as it did when it left the Lancaster, Pennsylvania factory half a century ago, which I would suggest is the ultimate test of a truly brilliant and timeless design. A vintage gem from the world's finest collection of Time Computer watches. Please view the pictures carefully; they are better descriptors of condition than any written description.
