LOS SICURA HORAS SALTANTES
Estos Relojes eran los que dieron en los 70 la verdadera popularidad a Ernest Schneider
Los jump hours , con esa distintiva forma de ver la hora con discos en lugar de agujas, marcaron tendencia.
y fueron inmensamente populares en la era pre-digital
Eran relojes baratos de fabricar y con ese ingenioso modo de dar la hora abria un nuevo campo de posibilidades en cuanto al diseño.
Detalle del dial
Detalle Del Plexi
Con su caracteristico Doble ventana y su look estilo Parkimetro,
Este Azul Marino era sin duda su modelo Estrella
Sicura Digital D500 Ref 948142
El movimiento un sencillo Baumgartner bg866 de 17j
Basicamente, Otro reloj barato de producir y de baja calidad,
que sin embargo posee mucha personalidad como todo lo que producia Scheneider por aquellas fechas
Un Bonito Ejemplar Con bracelete Racing Setentero a mas no poder

La Cuestión es que hace tiempo yo tuve un D500
En mi coleccion personal New Old Stock Perfecto,
Este:
El caso es que forma parte de esos relojes que deje pasar y me arrepiento Enormente,
porque ya no he vuelto a ver otro en esas mismas condiciones…si bien almenos
abandonó su hogar en mi caja fuerte por una buena causa…como no…otro Spaceman..;-)
El modelo tambien se fabricaba en otros colores
por ejemplo Rojo
Y en Dorado o Amarillo
Sicura Digital D500 Ref 948222
Las cajas eran originalmente parte pulida a espejo parte cepillado,
los modelos como estos que veais totalmente pulidos, lo han sido a posteriori
Ademas existieron otras variantes a tener en cuenta
Por ejemplo estas con los discos en blanco y /o Naranja
Denominadas Digistar
Sicura Digistar Ref 953133/953143
y Las Variantes Selfwinding
y Water Protected
Con movimiento automatico Brevets BFG 158
Denominadas SICURA HUNTER
Sicura HUNTER Ref 900143
Sicura HUNTER Ref 900293
Y Por Ultimo la Maravillosa versión DIGISTAR con caja de barril
Moraleja,
En los 70 hubo muchos Modelos diferentes de jump hours,
pero si me preguntan por algun modelo…
El primero que siempre se me viene a la cabeza es un Sicura

SICURA JUMP HOURS
The Sicura Digital D500 Series
These are the watches in the 70’s that gave the true popularity to the Ernest Schneider Brand.
The jump hours,
with that distinctive way of Displaying the time with disks instead of Conventional Hands, marked trend back in the day, and were immensely popular in the pre-digital Era.
This Watches were cheap to manufacture and with that ingenious way of telling the time, opened a new field of possibilities in design.
Detail of the dial
Detail of Plexi
With his characteristic double-glazing
and stylish Parking Meter Look,
The Navy Blue Model was certainly the star Of the Range
With a cheap Plaque case,
and a Simple 1 OR 17J
They where Basically,
another cheaper to produce, and low-quality, 70s watch,
which nevertheless has a great personality, like everything that Schneider Produced at that time
Anyway, I had for long
In my personal collection A Perfect D500 New Old Stock, Example,
This One :
The fact is that this is one of those watches that i miss and I regret enormously,
not to have in my collection anymore
because I have not seen one again in the same condition.
but at least …it left its home in my safe for a good cause
… of course … For another Spaceman Watch..;-)
The model was also manufactured in other colors Scheme combinations
For example in Red
And in Gold or Yellow
The Cases were originally part mirror polished, part brushed,
Models like these that you see totally polished, have been retrospectively Repolished Afterwards
In addition there were other alternatives to consider
For example those with White and/or Orange Discs
and the Selfwinding & Water Protected Variants
This Variants called Sicura «HUNTER»
Those Came With Automatic movement brevets BFG 158
And last but not least the
Wonderful Rounded barrel Case versions, with orange Date discs
This Variants called Sicura «Digistar»
Sicura Digistar (Various references)
The Moral of This Entry ?,
In the 70’s there were many different models of jump hours,
but if you ask me for any model …
The first that always comes to mind is a Sicura

Hi Russell, have you read the Disclaimer?
Since I wrote the majority of this posts long ago, and your site has been a reference guide for 70s watches lovers for ages,
im afraid there must be photos and references to some of your watches all over the place,
Let me know which are the offending photos, and i will remove them if you wish, but as this place is non commercial
only intended for didactic purposes and im just a hobbyist collector and not a jeweller, i dont really see the point.
in fact, i apologize because i had believed for long time your site was somewhat abandoned, as i did not see much updates thru the years, and was not until a couple of weeks ago that i Noticed you have a facebook page, and we could meet and have a small chat
So i hope you consider any further reference to your place as a compliment, without any misunderstanding.
best regards mate

Hi,
I have a used Sicura Jump Hour watch. Do you know where I can get the manual for the model?
23 julio, 2012 en 10:09
Sicura does not make any jump hours since the 70s, in fact sicura does not produce mechanical watches anymore
since its now a chinese quartz brand..there are no manuals online, but those pin lever jump hour watches
were pretty simple, if you need to repair one, your local watchsmith will be able very easy,
just choose one old enough and your done.
