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.
