Edox Geoscope GMT WorldTimer

Edox is a swiss watchmaker more than 100 years old and still in operation. Their watches are considered to be in the better half of the quality spectrum. In the 60s they became known for divers like Edox Delfin and Edox Hydrosub.

But what caught my eye on eBay was the Edox Geoscope GMT WorldTimer - this particular item was sold for 400 euro.

The model was introduced in 1970 or 1971. It's colourful and fairly big: 42 mm without crown. It actually has a Super Compressor-case and an inner bezel.

Looks really nice in the wild:

Disclaimer: The word is that a lot of the watches for sale are fake. Thus some of the pictures here could also be of fakes. Supposedely if it says "EDOX SWISS" at the dial is it fake. The original watches has "EDOX GEOSCOPE" on the dial. It seems futhermore that the world map on the fake watches are blurred compared to the original. More info here and here.

The Geoscope was also sold as Eterna and Concord Geoscope. Source.

One eBay-seller claims Edox also made a gigantic model measuring 48 mm. He has one of only 50 models made for sale at 3.800 Euro.

To find a genuine specimen of the Edox Geoscope at a reasonable price will take some serious research...
