The two-tone sibling of the index-leading 6827, at the exact 31mm unisex size driving the market, with a newer movement and sapphire crystal.
Catching the 6827's draft with far less vintage risk.
The 31mm two-tone from the era when midsize meant 'hers, but sportier'. Champagne dials, fluted gold bezel, Jubilee: the exact aesthetic the vintage-revival crowd is paying up for.
Midsize vintage went from dead stock to waiting lists at secondhand dealers in about three years. The 68273's production volume keeps it accessible, but the spread between rough and crisp examples is widening, condition is the trade.
Our verdict: The smart way to play the 31mm surge: 6827 momentum, modern reliability.
