Description/Comments:
Here is a peculiar looking, rectangular shaped, Space Age designed, Swiss made Sicura.  The raised sea blue colored crystal with it's off-centered and very small sized (8MM circumference) circular timing dial make this watch a peculiarity for sure.  It is in absolutely mint cosmetic and working condition.  
Case:
The case is manufactured in two parts (a brush finished  aluminum front piece and a stainless steel back piece.)  The overall measurements are 1 7/16" across (including the crown) and 1" wide (lug to lug.)  It is 1/4" thick.  The pop off stainless steel back is marked All Swiss Made and includes the numbers 9058.

Dial:
The dial is actually a silver tone color but appears to be a sea blue color due to the color of the crystal.  It is marked Elegance, Sicura, 17 Jewels, Swiss Made and Incabloc.  There is a solid silver colored horizontal line running the length of the dial, but interrupted by the off-centered timing dial.  The hour and minute hands are very small and black in color.  The off-center and round timing dial is silver in color with straight black lines  indicating the hours.  The circumference of the entire timing dial is only 8MM. 

The crystal is a sea blue color and rectangular shaped echoing the case design.  It is raised 4MM up from the surface of the case.  It measures 1 1/8" x 7/16."  All four edges have a 45 degree taper on them.
