A Celebrated Icon from 1971
The Leonidas Easy Rider watch captures the essence of the early 1970s, a time defined by the heavy throb of Harley Davidson motorcycles, the leather-clad Hells Angels, and the iconic film Easy Rider, complete with its unforgettable soundtrack “Born to be Wild.” It evokes memories of hippies, Glastonbury, and the vibrant spirit of an era that many still cherish. For those who remember those days, this watch is a delightful reminder of happy times and freedom.
Born in 1971, this watch is not just a timepiece; it’s a cultural icon celebrating 53 years of history.
In terms of condition, the watch features a durable PVD finish rather than plastic, ensuring it maintains its integrity and appeal. There are some marks on the dial at the 11 o'clock position due to the main hand gently rubbing over time. However, it has been fully serviced within the last year at a cost of £150, and you will receive the service receipt with your purchase. The watch is now in excellent working order, ready to be worn and appreciated once again.
As an iconic watch of its time, the Leonidas Easy Rider is a hugely rare find, making it an excellent choice for collectors and investors who appreciate unique pieces. Please take a moment to check the photographs provided, as they showcase the watch’s character and charm.
The seller, now retired, is offering this piece as part of a broader collection, welcoming any questions from potential buyers. This watch is not just a collectible; it’s a piece of history that resonates with the spirit of freedom and adventure.
