Linde Werdelin Oktopus I 1.3 Steel on Bracelet

Linde Werdelin holds a special place in our hearts here at Watch Vault, with our personal collection having at least one Linde Werdelin in it continuously for the past 10 years. We've owned a lot of them over the years, and to us the earlier pieces are that much more special.

The Oktopus I is the first generation of the Okto series. While all pieces in this series are brilliant, the proportions and design of the original pieces encapsulates what we love about the design language of LW, with a cohesiveness and attention to detail that is rarely seen amongst other brands in our opinion.

The steel case measures in at 46mm, but that is ear-to-ear from the underside of the case, so we find it wears more like a 44mm due to the large bezel and angled case extensions. From the face-side it measures 44mm across, with a uni-directional dive bezel surrounding a deep black dial with applied markers and arabic numerals for the quarter markers, executed in LW's own font. It's topped with broad lumed hands which suit the aesthetic perfectly. Don't be put off by the dimensions, the ergonomic case with downward facing lugs and flared strap makes it very comfy on the wrist. It's water resistant to 1111m, and comes on one of the coolest bracelets in the biz.

This particular piece was purchased from LW pre-owned in 2023, and presents in TZ Near Mint condition   with no nicks, dings or dents present and only the most minor signs of wear. Please see images for full condition details.

Its mounted to the original LW Steel bracelet with Microbille finish, and also comes with LW's superb rubber strap with tang buckle, and deployant. Barely any signs of wear to the bracelet, and it's fully linked.

All operations functioning as they should, and keeping COSC time. Remians under LW pre-owned warranty until September 2024.

Includes LW Travel box, warranty card dated September 2023, LW Rubber strap, LW deployant, and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.

If you've always been curious about LW, the Okto I is a great way to step in as they're one of LW's best designs, wear beautifully on the wrist, and this particular example has some very desirable accessories and remains under LW warranty.
