Novus LED watch with Novus brand

Retro Man — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 18:28:17 +0000

Here’s another classy LED watch from Novus. This is one of my favourites – I love this classy style. You can see that from the photos. A really unique shape of watch. The real feature, naturally, is the LED display – and what a display it is! Really crystal clear LED display – crystal is mint condition, as is the rest of the watch.

I’ll let the photos do the talking here, and I’ve uploaded a good lot of photos to give you a feel for this watch.

You can search around and you’ll see the price of these watches is rocketing – this is a very good price for this LED watch, so get it whilst it’s still here!

PRICE: £180 approx

Here we have the piece de resistance of the Novus selection. In my opinion anyway, you might like an another one better. I like this watch because of it’s flat shape and unusual strap. You may think it’s the most hideous garment to grace the planet. I have actually argued about this watch with friends in the past…”it’s ugly”; “it’s not”; “it’s ugly”; “it’s not” etc etc etc. Same story with the Spaceman watches. You love ‘em or hate ‘em.

Anyhoo, back to this watch – it’s Novus – nearly NOS – from the 70’s; Novus strap; logo on front, too cool – simply too cool. Wear this watch and await the gasps from impressed ladies and jealous punters.

This watch IS a wee bit more expensive than the others, BUT – like all my watches – I aim to keep the prices as cheap as possible, so have a search around on other sites which try and be like mine, and you’ll see this is the cheapest, most reputable, long-standing site on t’internet.

There is a VERY limited supply of this model, so move quickly cause one day they’ll be gone…

NOTE: This watch comes in various variants – some have 1 button, some have 2, doing slightly different tasks because of this, e.g. 2nd time zone. If you prefer a 1 or 2 buttoned model, PLEASE TELL ME before you place an order. Either way, these watches are cool and very very rare. Coming to the end of the stock now, so get in sharpish….

Novus LED NOS watch

Feast your eyes on this highly saught after Novus LED watch. This is an NOS watch in A1 MINT CONDITION.

This is from circa 1975 ( I think, don’t quote me on that exact year ) and is simply perfect. This particular model of watch is the reason (along with the Spaceman) that I adore 70’s watches. They were in the house when I was a young fella and just adored them.

This particular watch is perfect. I’ve uploaded a LOT of images, but I think it’s worth it. This watch is the steel silver colour, with brushed steel at the front and polished steel at the sides. Click once, get the time, twice, get the date.

Watch measures in at 33 x 38 x 10mm. AND THE STRAP!! I almost forgot about the gorgeous strap. It has a kind of two tone silver effect going on. Incredibly subtle, but part of the strap (the middle links) are polished steel but the outer links are brushed. It’s incredibly cool. And of course this is the signed original strap, so the unbelievably groovy “Novus” logo is sculpted on the clasp.

Of course, I have to mention the LED display. It’s pixel perfect. Like new – really sharp. The photos simply do not do this watch justice. Check out the last photo – you can see a face in it. THAT’S how shiny and cool this watch is!

A genuine warning here – if you liked the now-sold-out Commodore range, then you’ll like these even more! The logo is cooler; the watch is chunkier; the LED display is better. This is just a beefier timepiece. And they won’t last forever so get this watch whilst it’s here!

Enjoy the photos of this GREAT watch! An absolute must have for summer time!

Novus LED watch in an oblong shape

Retro Man — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 19:06:24 +0000

Well…this is gorgeous. You can see that from the photos. A really unique shape of watch, which measures up at 34×42x10mm. The real feature, naturally, is the LED display – and what a display it is! Really crystal clear LED display – crystal is mint condition, as is the rest of the watch – which on the first click displays the time and on the second click displays the DAY and the date! This is a unique function.

I’ll let the photos do the talking here, and I’ve uploaded a good lot of photos to give you a feel for this watch.

You can search around and you’ll see the price of these watches is rocketing – this is a very good price for this LED watch, so get it whilst it’s still here!

Novus LED watch hexagonal shape

Retro Man — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:56:54 +0000

Just like the others in the Novus range, this is an utterly gorgeous watch. Much chunkier and solid than many LED watches (incl. Commodore) and what a display! This watch is in A1 condition and has the branded strap etc.

You’ve likely sickened yourself with my spiel, so I’ll just let you look at the images…

National Semiconductor (Novus) LCD watch

Retro Man — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 17:54:30 +0000

This is a classic LCD watch by National Semiconductor (Novus). You can tell by the fantastically large and chunky dimensions of this watch that it’s a Novus owned production. This is a really sturdy retro LCD watch, and it has a nice big LCD screen – no nonsense – date / time / seconds, and that’s yer lot.

The face is navy blue, and the casing silver – a classic LCD watch combination! These pesky photos don’t do this watch justice at all, which is kind of annoying me, but you’ll have to trust me – buy this and LOVE it!

PRICE: £80 / 1200 SEK + shipping
