Novus Swiss Stainless Hexagon NSC DOW

Post09 Oct 2014, 20:05

Greetings fellow LED aficionados!

Having thus far acquired 2 beautiful early dot display models, I’ve since begun collecting line segment displays. While objectively I consider the dot displays to be much better looking, my first LED watch was a cheapo line segment display, and these stir up some nostalgic memories for me.

This near mint example of a 1970’s space-age Novus Hexagon model sports a stainless steel Swiss case/band, and houses a National Semiconductor line segment WM-09 DOW module. My only slight peeve is that Novus elected to incorporate a Plexiglass crystal when this artistic beauty was worthy of a high grade mineral glass lens in my humble estimation.

:pics: (Please note that the red lens appears cloudy due to window glare on a partly cloudy day.)
