Description: VERYGOOD condition. It takes awhile to find these with accurate timekeeping abilities but we have and this watch has been checked out completely by our watchmaker and keeps superb time. I have been checking it now for over a month. Near perfect original aged black dial. Excellent steel case only has some minor scuffs and dates from 1965. Bracelet looks original and is signed but the end pieces don't look like a perfect fit to me so it is possible they or parts of the bracelet have been put together although this is just how we found it. These watches are selling for $900 and up on the vintage market place. Measures 38 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$525} Item #4928 SOLD

Title: Super Cool Green Dial Bulova "214" Accutron

Description: EXCELLENT condition. I believe that the little white dots or spots on this dark green dial are some form of age but they are so evenly spaced out that the dial appears to be made this way and resembles a Longines "Galaxy" type dial, to my eye. I like it. It looks pretty nice  with the white hands and crown free design. This is a back set or 214 caliber tuning fork battery operated timepiece made in 1970. The steel case is in nice condition with some scuffs here and here and the watch is keeping good time.

Title: Railroad Approved Bulova Accutron, Circa 1976

It has normal scuffs from use and is dated to 1976 with the Bulova date code "N6" seen on the back. This is a hack set battery powered tuning fork movement and it is keeping good time (for an Accutron) showing half a minute or so slow per 24hr period. It has a date, which changes exactly at midnight. It is a "slow set" and so the hour hand must be moved past midnight to change. This type of Accutron is very collectible and rarely offered at this price by other dealers. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$229} Item #4170 SOLD GG

The gold filled case has a steel back and is about 85% with scuffs here and there but the dial is 99% and really nice to look at.

Title: Outstanding Ball Official Standard Trainmaster

Description: NEARMINT condition. Almost new old stock with caveats. A watch may be considered new old stock and still have marks or scratches. How is this so? We look at several different factors other than the external appearance. This fine piece has not been buffed as evidenced by the original circular sand marks on the screw back. It has not been serviced as there are no service marks on the inside of the back. The movement is also pristine. We can see this (from a layman's view) by looking at the blue screws and other screws for burr marks and other signs of service. But, there are many small nicks and scuffs here and there on the case. Most are not highly noticeable and in fact, you can see them in the close-up photos by clicking on the small image to the left. The 25j Swiss automatic movement keeps good time and hacks as it should. A super cool Hirsch "sportline" black strap is included. Measures 35 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$675} Item #4464 TRADED

Title: Neat Batman Comic Character Watch, Swiss Made Mechanic's Special

Title: Big Steel Baylor Automatic 200 Meter Vintage Diver

Description: VERYGOOD condition. This is a nice heavy duty diver with a 600 foot rating according to the back. Cool deep emblem of a speedboat too. But, what I like is the mint original black dial and the inner rotating bezel for timing dives. Signed crowns. Automatic high grade Swiss movement is a high beat and shows little to no error on the timing machine. It is keeping better than chronometer grade time. Measures 37 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$219} Item #3594 SOLD

Title: Hard to Find 1950's Benrus Dial-o-Rama Serviced

Description: GOOD condition. This two part case has a water and dust proof steel main body and a chrome plated base metal bezel and lugs. That part of it is fairly worn as you can see in the photos. Click on the image to the left for close ups. These neat Swiss made watches have 17 jewel shock protected hand wound movements and were fairly inexpensive. Today the market has shown an appreciation for any Swiss watch with a unique perspective (digitals, world timers, gmts, chronographs, triple dates, moon phases and other complications). Tells time through hours, minutes and seconds in that order from top to bottom. Of course, the seconds "hand" is the gold star which turns as seconds elapse.

Title: One of a Kind Sterling Silver Benrus w/Pierced Shield

Description: EXCELLENT condition. This is not a watch you will ever see again. It was hand made by an American artisan from an original sterling silver Benrus timepiece. The pierced shield portion of this watch has been added expertly to the case. The jewelers' level of skill is incredible and I have been told that he refuses to attempt this design again. The labor involved rules out a second effort. Hand wound Swiss made Benrus signed movement and signed sterling silver case. Nice black Benrus dial. Measures 30 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40 mm long x 8 mm thick. {$425} Item #3820 SOLD DM

Description: VERYGOOD condition. These are very cool watches and still a super investment. Complicated timepieces are hard to find and usually much more expensive. The dial is nice with age but original. The outside day of the month section is a thicker cream kind of layer. The gold filled top is very nice and has fancy lugs. Excellent look overall and runs great. The third hand with the red tipped pointer is quickly changed with a push of the crown. A nice new Hirsch water resistant leather strap is attached.

We rarely see solid gold wire lug watches in any condition and this is pretty sharp for the age. High grade Swiss made movement and special sideways design add value. The style is a drivers as the watch reads more or less straight up and down when your hand is at the 10 o'clock station on your wheel. Runs fine and has the original crown. All hinges and lids and bezels snap into place perfectly. Many sites would charge two or three times this amount for a unique piece such as this.

Title: New Old Stock Ernest Borel Chronometer

Description: NEARMINT condition. We see many Omega and Rolex chronometer grade watches (tested for exceptional timekeeping standards in Switzerland) but other brands have been hard to find for some time now.

Title: Very Cool E. Borel and Co. w/Awesome Dial

Description: VERYGOOD condition. I think this old timekeeper is 1940s or so. We don't see them very often with center seconds or in this nice condition.

The large (for the era) three piece case is chrome plated with a steel back. It too is almost perfect.

Title: Rare Oversized 18k Pink Gold Breitling Chronograph

Description: VERYGOOD condition. We have had really nice pink gold Breitling chronographs before, seen here....or here.... and they have sold quickly too but they weren't this model. This one is extra large and with the original black dial. It does show some general evenly spread age plus two spots just left of the center pinion (where hands attach and over the 7). They have a spot of black paint on them which was a repair of sorts ages ago. Almost perfect pink fully signed snap back case. And the original hands do have some light corrosion. The typical Breitling (Landeron Caliber 39 Swiss made) chronograph movement is not signed on the chronograph bridge like usual so this piece may have been assigned for export somewhere in a southern or non-European country.  It is original to the case and dial. Measures 37.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 45 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$2695} {$2375} Item #4722 SOLD

Title: Gorgeous Early Breitling Quartz

Description: NEARMINT condition. I just like the look of this watch. Breitling's famous bezel is here but no chrono. A time only early (1980's or early 90's) Breitling quartz.

Title: Outstanding 18k Pink Gold Breitling Premier

Description: EXCELLENT/NEARMINT condition. Boy. These watches (vintage gold Breitling chronographs) have completely disappeared from the market. We used to buy and sell early snap backs like this and later screw back models with round pushers all the time. The prices were much lower two or three years ago too. It means that supply has shrunk, especially with nearmint examples. This qualifies. The original dial is almost perfect. It is just about a good as you can get for a 60 year old watch. The case is also in superb condition. One measure of wear is to look at the back where the watchmaker's knife blade is inserted. You are able to see in the close-up shots that it has little wear in that area. In addition, you can see that the original brushed finish on the sides is un-buffed and almost like new. The movement (Venus Caliber 175) also carries the same condition and runs to perfection with the chronograph hand setting to the 10th second perfectly. Three nice examples of this rare watch have been purchased from an astute collector. One has a nice black dial and may be available a bit later. Notice the large monogram on the back. Model 760 with case number 630973. These models are not thin or tin can like we call some typical gold chronos of this era. They are thick and heavy. Measures 35.4 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$2395} Item #4234 SOLD TO JV

Title: 1968 Breitling "Top Time" Stainless Steel Chronograph

Description: VERYGOOD condition. This is the best looking vintage Breitling I have had since we sold a pink gold screw back "Premier" about 5 years ago. It has a perfect original dial, which really stands out with its black sub dials. Although we have not serviced it, the hand wound movement is very clean and keeps perfect time. I have been wearing this watch for a couple of months and it loses about a second a week. The snap back case is signed and is all steel with a dust cover over the movement. It has been buffed and shows some nicks and a little corrosion in some small spots. It carries a used Hirsch strap with a stainless steel deployant buckle.

Description: EXCELLENT condition. A rare and beautiful timepiece from the 1940's. The original black dial is almost perfect. It is just about a good as you can get for a 60 year old watch. The case is also in very very nice condition. One measure of wear is to look at the back where the watchmaker's knife blade is inserted. You are able to see in the close-up shots that it has little wear in that area. There are no dents, dings, scuffs, scratches or sign of wear what so ever. It has been buffed lightly by our watchmaker. The movement (Venus Caliber 175) is in good shape according to our watchmaker and the chronograph hand re-sets/stops to the 10th second perfectly. Purchased from an astute collector, vintage gold Breitling chronographs have just about completely disappeared from the market. Supply has shrunk, especially with extra nice examples.  This nice 18k pink gold watch is not thin or "tin can" like we call some typical gold chronos of this era. Measures 35.4 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$2395} Item #4264 SOLD TO MW DOWN UNDER

Title: Very Rare British Broad Arrow One Button Artillery Chronograph

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Nearly one of a kind this type of chronograph was made specifically for pilots and other military timers like gunners who where able to determine the range of enemy artillery units. Factory modified with no hour or minute hand and Valjoux's special GHT hand wound chronograph movement featuring 17 jewels and 18,000 bph (beats per hour). According to Ziggy this type was issued to the British Army's Air Observation Post crews. The 1/5 signifies the ability to record timing intervals to one fifth of a second and although the TP is not completely understood most agree it means Temporary Pattern as most war time chronographs have a patt. #3139 style mark (pattern number). Superb shape with the original finish on the all steel case. Most military watches were made of chrome plated base metals to save resources making steel much rarer. Wire lugs ensured that the watch would not break free from your wrist. The painted metal dial is original and perfect except for some flaking down at the bottom.  A brand new Hadley Roma black cuff strap is attached. Measures 36.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$1075} Item #4723 SOLD

Title: Beautiful Ladies Bucherer "Ball" Watch on Chain

Description: NEARMINT condition. Possibly as late as the 1960's this extra nice Swiss watch was made to be worn every day in a non traditional place, around the neck. The 17 jewel hand wound shock protected movement keeps excellent time. The chain is possibly more modern and it is not made of expensive material and I don't believe this watch is sterling either. Measures 21 mm wide (not including the crown). {$169} Item #4145 SOLD TO WHH

Title: Big 14k Pink Gold Paul Buhre, Manufacture'

Description: EXCELLENT/NEARMINT condition. This is a real sweet timepiece and a little larger than most from this era. It measures a millimeter or two larger and feels bigger too because of the narrow bezel and large diameter pink dial (refinished). It has large beefy lugs and looks fantastic overall. The signed snap back covers a signed hand wound Swiss made movement and this case is also reinforced with metal to help beef up the watch which feels good in the hand and on the wrist. The firm "Manufacture des Montres Paul Buhre SA" opened a small shop in St. Petersburg Russia in 1815. Paul Leopold Buhre along with other Swiss watchmakers (Courvoiser and Cie and Tissot) was attracted to the area by Catherine II's efforts to start a watch and clock factory.  Buhre's main factory was located in Le Locle Switzerland. It expanded rapidly from its trade in Russia and by 1945 was touting 300 observatory prizes including Neuchatel and Breguet competitions. The firm continued through the 1970's with ads listing marine and wrist chronometers.

Title: Gorgeous Small Early Waterproof Bulova w/Sweet Dial Serviced

Description: GOOD condition. We have this graded as only "good" because there is a thin crack on the case between the lugs at six.

The Swiss made Bulova Caliber 10BCC hand wound movement has been fully serviced, oiled and timed and has also had a new mainspring installed. It runs great, keeping good time. Overall nearmint condition. Could be original or extra high quality re-finish on this dial. I took it as original at first but am unsure now.

Title: Rare Bulova One Button Chronograph

Description: VERYGOOD condition. These old watches (1940's) are very unique and rare. Unusual in that the chronograph only times for 60 seconds with no 30 minute or 12 hour counter.

The gold filled, snap back case is very nice with no "wear through". It has been buffed but there are no noticeable scratches or dings. The dial appears to be original but rates abut 80% with some fading on the outside edge. I believe this is the original hand crafted and tooled cowboy style leather strap.

Title: Long 21j Curved Bulova w/Black Dial

Description: VERYGOOD condition. This collectible vintage time piece has three strong virtues. They are size, aesthetics and price.

It has a high grade American made 21j hand wound movement and the original unmarked glass crystal. There is some wear through to brass on the tops of the lugs but this is not seen easily because brass and gold are similar in color when polished.

Title: Beautiful Extra Fine Bulova Duo-wind Automatic Tank

Description: NEARMINT condition. When was the last time you saw a large vintage automatic timepiece with a rectangular/tank shaped case? They did not make many as I don't believe that they took hold at the time. When we do see them the condition is usually poor. This fantastic large watch is nearly one of a kind. In point, as we should all know, the extra fine and nearmint vintage watches are purchased and held by the most astute collectors. They always increase in value exponentially. Don't miss out on extra ordinary pieces when available. This is the FIRST nearmint duo-wind I have seen in 10 years. Anyway, it is nice and all original. The gold filled case does have faint scuffs but has not been buffed. The automatic Swiss Bulova movement runs great and a brand new highest grade Hirsch strap is included. Signed crown.

Title: Hard to Find SS Bulova Wrist Alarm, Circa 1967 Serviced

Description: VERYGOOD/EXCELLENT condition. Despite nicks and scuffs on this thick steel case and one crown which is narfed up a bit, this is a great chance for a good deal on an attractive (mint original dial) functioning complicated Swiss timepiece. Alarms are still undervalued and steel is the best to collect, after gold. The signed crown at two winds and sets the watch. It also winds the alarm barrel. Turn clockwise to wind alarm, counter clockwise for the movement (mainspring). The crown at four sets the alarm hand and allows the ring when in the pulled out position. The Bulova Caliber 11AERC has been fully serviced, oiled and timed. A new off-brand lizard is attached but you may choose a nice new Hadley Roma if you like. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 41 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$265} Item #4156  SOLD TO SS IN ISTANBUL

This is hard to see with a light hand polish as brass matches the gold filled case. Learn about gold filled cases <HERE>.  The original curved glass crystal is like new with one nearly invisible mark on the edge between the 3 and the 4. It is flush with the top/bezel of the watch. The crown is new and unsigned. Just massive in size. See photo of the way it covers my large 7 and 1/2 inch wrist. An extra long genuine lizard skin strap is included. I have only seen one of these in 14 years of collecting. The hand wound 21j Bulova 7AP movement is Swiss made and has been fully serviced, oiled and timed.   Measures 21.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 52 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$975} Item #jusal01 Note: If you think our watch is overpriced check this one out for $1750 at www.wannabuyawatch.com SOLD SM

Description: NEARMINT condition. This awesome British MoD (Ministry of Defense) "broad arrow" WWW (Wrist Watch Waterproof) military issue time piece was completely serviced about a year ago by the previous owner. The dial is original and despite some fading it is in superb condition and has its original luminescent dots. The hands may be original or replacements but they are the correct shape and certainly have been (if original) refilled with new luminescent material. This design is known for heavy screw on waterproof back, anti-magnetic dust cover for the robust hand wound Swiss made Cyma movement, fixed spring bars and non-shattering acrylic crystals. Many manufacturers supplied www watches to the MoD but most were chrome plated cases with steel backs. Few, except the Cyma were made entirely of steel. The difference is dramatic. Chrome plated cases will not survive refurbishing or buffing of any kind and they have a much shorter lifespan. The slotted back is fully marked and perfect. This is a nickelled split 3/4 plate 15j movement with an uncut screw balance containing an overcoil hairspring. A Bond style Nato strap is attached. Measures 38.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 46 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$490} Item #4636 SOLD

Title: Outstanding Over Large Heavy Steel WWW Broad Arrow Cyma Serviced

Description: NEARMINT condition. This awesome British MoD (Ministry of Defense) "broad arrow" WWW (Wrist Watch Waterproof) military issue time piece was completely refurbished by one of the many fine UK dealers, purchased by a customer of ours and traded to us. The dial is original and despite some fading it is in superb condition and has its original luminescent dots. The hands may be original or replacements but they are the correct shape and certainly have been (if original) refilled with new luminescent material. This design is known for heavy screw on waterproof back, anti-magnetic dust cover for the robust hand wound Swiss made Cyma movement, fixed spring bars and non-shattering acrylic crystals. Many manufacturers supplied www watches to the MoD but most were chrome plated cases with steel backs. Few, except the Cyma were made entirely of steel. The difference is dramatic. Chrome plated cases will not survive refurbishing or buffing of any kind and they have a much shorter lifespan. The slotted back is fully marked and perfect. Since the piece was serviced and probably has new seals I have not opened it to observe or photograph the movement. Most likely it is a nickelled split 3/4 plate 15j movement with an uncut screw balance containing an overcoil hairspring. We have it attached to our popular Hadley Roma cuff strap. Measures 38.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 46 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$575} Item #3896 SOLD

Title: Outstanding 1930's Cyma Tank Serviced

Description: VERYGOOD condition.  It is hard to find early examples of wristwatches with this many virtues. The condition is top notch for the age and shows only medium to mild use over the last 70 years. The white gold filled case is hinged at the north end and has deeply embossed bezel and sides. The tops of the small lugs are also engraved. Extra metal holds the movement in place and adds extra weight. The dial is perfect and extremely pleasing to look at. It has been professionally refinished as have the hands. Cyma was a company name under the Tavannes umbrella of watch co. names. Founded in 1891 by Henri Sandoz (1851-1913) after 20 yrs of success at the helm of his first company, Henri Sandoz and Cie., the Tavannes Watch Co. was known for many patents and new innovations including patents and contributions for repeaters (chiming watches), pocket chronometers (highly accurate pocket watches), marine chronometers (ships clocks), chronographs, extra thin movements, hermetic (waterproof) cases, metal dials, parts of all kinds and even their own shock protection devices. By the 1920's the Tavannes Watch Co., Tacy (short for Tavannes and Cyma) Watch Co. and Cyma Watch Co. were one of Switzerland's most productive and popular manufacturer's with offices in nearly every overseas market.  This watch has been fully serviced, oiled and timed.

Title: Extra Fine 1943 Cyma Bumper Wind Automatic

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Unbeknownst to most this is a fairly unique and important brand and model in particular. These early waterproof automatics are also found in steel and marked "watersport" The popular Rolex "Oyster" was proven a few years earlier in the late 30's. Large for the day with a style and design ahead of its time. Unbuffed gold filled top 95% or better with a stainless two-part screw back. Highly water and dust resistant design from the early 1940's. Swiss made "in-house" Cyma Caliber R420 (Cyma's first automatic movement) is a pleasure to view having an early 114,214 serial number a pretty jewel setting on the central hammer wind rotor, ruby bearings with chatons, a two spoke Glucydur screw balance, self-compensating flat hairspring, Patented Cymaflex shock resistance a center second and 18, 000 bph (beats per hour).  98% original dial is a pleasure to look at with aged luminescent triangles at 12,3,6 and 9 and dots at the gold indices. Yellowish aged hands match perfectly and point with specific accuracy to the correct minute and even the fifth minute mark which is highly detailed and perfect on the dial.

Title: Big Oversized Delbana Swiss Made Vintage Chronograph

Description: EXCELLENT condition. This attractive vintage piece has a two piece middle body with a snap on bezel. It is gold plated and there is a 5 mm section of the bezel with missing or worn off gold plating. It can be seen in the close-up photo. Click on the image to the left. The original dial is outstanding and in mint condition. It is a 30 minute chrono which means the big "second" hand counts 60 seconds while the subsidiary bit at three counts up to 30 minutes. The sub dial at 9 is the normal seconds counter which runs constantly. With a good loupe one can see no flaws or sign of age. The detail of the outside edge is amazing as three different gauges are arranged out there. The tachymeter or fine numbering in black from 1000 to 60, clockwise is used to measure speed traveling one mile (try it from mile marker to marker on the highway, for instance if it takes you 55 seconds the hand will stop just left of 65 on the tachymeter which indicates that you averaged 65.5 mph in that mile). Next, in red are the numerals 1 thru 20 (km) with the 20 at the top. This is a telemeter scale which is used to time distance related to sound. For instance to time the distance of a bolt of lightning from its furthest point, push the button at 2 when you see it strike and push the button at 4 to stop when you hear the thunder. Each division, 1-20 is 1km with the miniscule marks between the numbers representing 100 meters. So, if you hear the thunder 7 seconds after the bolt the distance will read 2 (km) and 500 meters or just over a mile. Finally, a black 0-60 graduation is for simple minute timing. The Swiss made Landeron Caliber 48 movement is in perfect running condition and keeps excellent time. A brand new Hadley Roma  835 Gator Tail brown leather strap with a 20 mm lug width is included. Measures 39 mm wide (not including the crown) x 46 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$345} Item #3715 SOLD CA

Title: WW II German Military Issue Dogma

Description: EXCELLENT condition. The case of this watch is really perfect with no damage or wear at all. It might have been reconditioned in the past. The dial is original and the hands are missing the luminescent material. The shock protected hand wound A. Schild Caliber 1130 hand wound movement is perfect, correct for the era and signed Dogma on the winding wheel. The screw on back of this watch has Stahlboden which means steel back and the correct D plus military serial number. D stands for Dienstuhr which means Servicewatch. Most German military watches have both the D and H for Heer which is German Army. Some speculate that the watches only marked with a D were for the Luftwaffe. It is unusual to find this type with only the D marking (ref. Ulric of England). It is attached to a nice new Bund strap. Measures 34.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 41 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$445} Item #4619 SOLD

Title: Beautiful New Old Stock Steel Formed Case Doxa Tank

Description: NEARMINT condition. Most dealers would certainly call this mint but although this watch was never sold it has been in a dealers case or two and does have some superficial scuffs. All original and striking to see in my opinion. This is a hand wound watch made in Switzerland during the 1930's. It is small (note the dimensions) but was made for a man even though either sex could wear this piece. Formed case watches from the 30's are rare as steel is difficult to work in this fashion. Don't overlook this piece as it's horological importance and rarity is significant. A beautiful French made black lizard strap is included. Measures 19.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 36 mm long x 9 mm thick. {$475} {$299} SALE Item #3775 SOLD TO GA

Title: Beautiful 14k Pink Gold Doxa Hand Wind

Description: A fine watch in a medium to small size (30 mm in diameter not including the original pink crown). Certainly the watch is from an era when watches in general were much smaller than now. Probably late 1930's from the design. Fully signed 17 jewel Swiss made hand wound movement features an indirect center seconds and a two spoke screwed balance. According to the timing machine the watch shows little to no error. In other words, it keeps perfect time. The 14k pink gold screw back case is fully signed (Doxa) and hallmarked with gold content, made in Switzerland etc. It is in good condition with a small ding in the back but overall ranks about 85%. Also it has a stamp on the back of one lug. The dial is perfect but it has been refinished and is a very nice job. I believe the hands are original (nice aged color). Acrylic crystal. A brand new high grade Hadley Roma tan leather strap is attached. This beautiful vintage water resistant watch can be worn by either sex. Measures 30 mm wide (not including the original pink crown) x 36 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$258 $195} Item #3341 SOLD RG

Title: Extra Nice 18k Yellow Gold Vintage Hand Wound Ebel

Description: EXCELLENT condition. One of the nicer thin gold watches I have seen in awhile. Extra thin Caliber 96 Ebel movement (Piaget 9P) has 5 adjustments and looks really attractive. Fully signed and hallmarked three piece snap back case is 18k solid dark yellow gold with only three service marks. The enameled blue dial has a starry night motif and was probably repainted some time ago even though it says swiss on the bottom. It does have some cracks in the underlying enamel which are hard to see with the naked eye. The dial is original, only the gold paint is new. Enameled dials carry more value than painted metal dials. A nice blue genuine lizard skin strap from DeBeer of Paris is attached. Measures 32 mm wide (not including the crown) x 36 mm long x 6 mm thick. {$570} Item #4616 SOLD

Title: Rare Edox Geoscope World Time Automatic

Description: VERYGOOD condition. This is one of the most difficult vintage watches to find. I have only seen one in 13 years of collecting. It was sold by us for about $1700 to a well known politician who can be seen wearing it to this day. This is a large, one piece steel case in a water and dust proof design. The crystal is screwed down into the case with a special ring. The signed crowns wind and set the watch (at 4) and move the 24hr black and white GMT inner bezel with sun (crown at 2). Penned as a "Universal time watch whose dial effects a full rotation every 24 hours providing both GMT time and the position of the sun in the heavens, this watch was considered one of a kind for it's time", made in the 1960's. There are some light scuffs and dings on the case and some age can be seen on one portion (50 sec mark through the 5 sec mark) of the outer outer dial. This is a Swiss made watch with an automatic movement in good running condition (at watchmakers getting checked out w/service if needed). This watch comes with its original signed steel Edox bracelet. A nice buffalo grain new black leather 22 mm strap with matching steel buckle is attached. Measures 42 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 15 mm thick. {$1275} {$975} Item #3838  TRADED TO JS
