***********FOR PARTS/REPAIR - The Sicura 49 (EB 8021-68) manual wind movement does not run as the crown cannot be wound, likely indicating that the mainspring needs to be replaced. The date and time can be set without issue. At a minimum a complete overhaul is required.***********

This vintage 1970's Sicura, which came from the estate of its original owner, has a matte black dial that under the heavily damaged crystal is in pristine condition. The original lume, which remains fully intact and emits a quick burst glow after being exposed to bright light, has aged to a perfectly matching warm buttermilk hue. The bezel, which shows wear and rotates bidirectionally with an appropriate amount of tension, presents nicely. The chrome-plated case shows honest wear and brassing. The outer edge of the case back is stamped "STAINLESS STEEL BACK 400 VACUUM WATERPROOF SWISS MADE" with "SICURA" followed by "GUARANTEED" stamped along the inner edge. The crystal needs to be replaced.

The 23 jewels Swiss "SIC 49" stamped EB 8021-68 manual wind movement does not run as the crown cannot be wound, likely indicating that the mainspring needs to be replaced. The date and time can be set without issue, with the date wheel rolling over at 12 am. This movement does not have a quickset date function. At a minimum a complete overhaul is required.

This watch measures approximately 38 mm excluding the crown, approximately 41 mm including the crown and approximately 20 mm between the lugs.

Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time. For this watch that time is now. Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility.
