Near Mint+++ Shellman's Award-Winning Grand Complication with Original SS Bracelet and Un-used Strap - Reduced!
In 1997, "Shellman Grand Complication" was placed on the market, and in the same year the Grand Complication received two prestigious awards, "Gold Award" and "Special Award" of being the "Watch of the year" from leading Japanese watch publications. Also in 1998, the watch got a place for permanent exhibits at the most authoritative watch museum "La Chaux-de-fonds" in Switzerland. How many watches in the world would be bestowed with such honors?
"Shellman Grand Complication" is the world's first grand complication using an originally developed precision quartz movement. This watch has a motion like a mechanical movement by using 1/4 second step motor. A battery can power the watch from two to three years. This six-month old watch with a beautiful silver engine turned dial is a high-grade, handsome, complicated timepiece with a minute repeater, perpetual calendar, moon phase and a split second chronograph. Water resistance to 3 atm. Shellman developed this grand watch to give an opportunity for all wristwatch lovers to enjoy all of these functions in mechanical modes in the same watch at a very affordable price. A true mechanical timepiece of such complications of this magnitude and marvel would be in the hundred thousand dollar range, if you can ever find one! This watch has the following complications in addition to telling time:
Split-Second Chronograph
The function of measuring time is called a chronograph. This watch has a motion like a mechanical movement by using 1/4 second step motor.
Minute repeater
The function that tells current time with three distinct chimes, one for the hour, one for the 1/4 hour and one for the minute. The sound is very similar to a mechanical pocket watch repeater.
Moon phase
This function indicates the cycle of the moon with 29 and half days. Moon and stars are of high-quality gold plating. This looks just like a high-grade perpetual moon phase.
Perpetual calendar

Both twelve-hour and twenty-four-hour time zones are displayed.The signed SS bracelet is beautifully constructed with hidden double deployant clasp. The bracelet sizing tool comes with it too, making the sizing of it very easy.
