The blue/orange dial and gorgeous white/blue inner rotating bezel are a feast to the eyes.

Feel free to contact me for whatever questions you might have.Some information from the company's website: "It all starts in Torre Annunziata, in the post-war period of economic growth of our country.  In 1923 the founder of the brand was born Vincenzo Guida, to whom we owe the strength of a company surely tied to the traditions, but always in step with new trends and technologies. Its activity starts with a passion: to repair watches are no longer functional; being able to restart the hand was for him a great satisfaction! Thus it was born the idea of ​​a small shop which devote himself entirely. His dedication to work, combined with the right amount of ambition, it will soon lead to establish a brand, Guidus, in 1958, which will see a production of watches, symmetrically to a strap production and distribution for major companies in the national scene.  Guidus continues with its expansion physically operating in Naples, in the Goldsmiths Square, widening the Borgo Orefici, where, since the days of Joan Times, gathered the goldsmiths here that they had placed their workshops.  After nearly half a century of activity, the company, the continuation of which entrusted to the sons Antonio and Eliseo, to meet the needs of the period, such as, lack of wide and safe spaces, Guidus, with deliberation of which mainly is characterized, decides diimmergersi Reata in a totally new, IL TARI '.  IL TARI ', located in Marcianise, Caserta industrial area, preserves the Neapolitan tradition, and at the same time, it meets security requirements, and promotion services.  Today, almost 70 years from the curiosity became passion, since that fateful moment, Vincenzo Guida has restarted the first hands, but the passion of the Guida is to always, preciously innovated by the advent of the third generation."
