Show me your cushion shaped

**Lohse** · 8th April 2006, 21:51

Please show me your cushion shaped watch..

I have the itch for a new watch. The cushion shape look is growing on me :)

Can´t afford a Panny :( Any affordable ideas?

**Gert** · 8th April 2006, 22:11

This may not be what you were looking for, but it's quite cushion-y to my eye :P

Cheers,
Gert

These 6309's and 6105's are referred to as cushion cases.

I concur there, a MKIV Varaflame with the rotavalve gas head movement which sometimes could cause vast swathes of hair to become singed if the body was warmed in the hand... they can make 75-100 us$ if they have the gold Ronson chevron on the side, nice leather pouch there too..

Hi Neil,

That's great! I thought I was the only person in the world who still owned one of these. Here's mine on my wrist a couple of weeks ago:

Some questions, if you don't mind:

Is yours yellow or pink gold?
Does the movement come out through the front?
Is the case polished all over?

Thanks for any info,
Steve.

**Dave Essel** · 11th April 2006, 11:18

How about these :?:

I am a big Glycine fan and I think the Eugène Meylan looks very cushy and/or cushiony.

Hello Steve

It's pink gold.

Movement comes out from the back.

Case is polished all over.

That's the one I want, too, but I've just promised my wife that I will not buy any more watches for 1 calendar year. What a fool :!: :!: :!:

Mind you I've got a Damasko DA36 on its way from Eddie as I write and something else as well from MKII, but after that, it's patience, patience, patience, Eugene.

Hi Peter,
You seem to collect Edox watches. I have a Delfin much like the ones in the first image, but with dark blue dial. Bought it in the mid-1970's. Came on a bracelet, it's on a black aviator style strap now. Any idea as to the type of movement in those? Mine is still very precise and feels as new after just one cleaning/regulating round in all those years. Any source for more info on these watches, and their value at the moment?

Regards,

Frank Schweppe

**davide** · 16th August 2006, 12:32

Nice to see an interesting post revived - I think these just about count as cushion - Lemania-powered Tissot and c.860 Omega chrono -

Kinda cushiony:

Actually, this might fit as well.

Hi Frank,
It's been a while since I bought another Edox, but I started
collecting these when my grandfather gave me his Edox Delfin.

I also have a blue version, does it look like this one? :

I'm curious about the bracelet, do you have a photo?

My only source is/was eBay.
Regarding the value : anything between 15? - 100?
depending on condition and materials (steel/gold).

Indeed, It's a Ronson "Adonis" with leather 'jacket'.

I had that Ronson in 1965, it cost me 32s/6d.

It's almost the same; same case, same dial, only on mine the seconds hand is white without the red tip. And mine is handwound, yours seems to be an auto version, looking at the dial and your description of the movement.
The bracelet was not Edox branded, I selected it separately at the same watch shop in Thun, Switzerland, where I bought the Delfin as a teenager. A fairly lightweight affair, although most links were apparently massive, just not very thick. At the time I swam quite a bit, and wanted a watch that was waterproof, shockproof, 17-year old boy proof. My mother was horrified when, on return in our holiday rental home, I filled up the washbasin, got the watch unpacked and dumped it straight in the water. 'Mum, it's supposed to be 200 metre waterproof. If it leaks now I can still go back tot the watch shop, that's going to be a lot more difficult once we're back in Holland.' It did not leak, of course, and it survived a lot of swimming, countless games of hard tennis, 16 months of military service in the artillery corps and years of ballooning, including some adventurous and rough things I did when I was still unexperienced and too full of confidence. One day, just after winding it, it just stuck and refused to run. It sat in a drawer for about a decade while I read the time off cheap Casios, until I bought a Sinn 256, got into the mood of mechanicals again and had the Edox checked. A good cleaning, fresh oil and it ran as reliable as always. :-) The dial has lost most of its luminosity, but otherwise looks like new.
Pictures later, but it is sitting on my desk as I write this, its case full of small dings and scratches, the acrylic cristal showing a lot of major scratches, but thanks to some minutes with a dab of Polywatch ordered from Eddie along with my PRS-4 it looks clearer than it did for many years. And it looks good on a black leather strap; I'll try it on a Speedbird RAF NATO later (that's in the mail actually).

Frank Schweppe

My most comfortable watch. Well, it would be, but for the cheap, typical-of-the-era, hair-grabbing Omega bracelet.

And today's acquisition. Also comfortable, despite its large size and crappy strap.
