Vintage 70s Spaceman Audacieuse Kotana Automatic Brown Dial Strap 39mm Watch

The Spaceman Audacieuse is one of the boldest designs of 1970s watchmaking. Created by André Le Marquand, the designer behind the original Spaceman, and introduced in 1974, it was retailed under several Swiss names. This example is signed Kotana on the dial. The rectangular case tapers like a pyramid toward the crystal, so the dial seems to project from the wrist, and the textured brown dial, with its grainy, rust-toned surface, evokes something close to a Martian landscape. Lumed baton hands and markers, a date window at 6 o'clock and the Spaceman rocket logo complete the space-age look.

Case & Movement:

- Case: Chrome-plated rectangular pyramid-style case, 39mm, with black caseback and screw-fixed strap attachments

- Movement: Swiss automatic (self-winding) mechanical

- Dial: Brown textured, signed "Spaceman Audacieuse" and "Kotana – Automatic – Swiss Made – T25," with date window (T25 indicates tritium luminous material)

- Strap: Dark brown leather strap printed "Spaceman Audacieuse" on the underside, with steel buckle

Condition:

Genuine vintage piece in pre-owned condition consistent with its age. The chrome plating shows wear on the top surfaces and edges, with base metal visible in places. The black caseback finish shows noticeable cracking and crazing. The dial shows a light mark near the center and some damage to the marker near 3 o'clock. The signed strap shows wear and creasing, especially near the case. The watch is shown with the date displayed in the photos, but no service history is available, so it is sold as-is; current timekeeping accuracy is not guaranteed. Please review all photos carefully as they form part of the item description.
