This Waltham Geneve is a quintessential example of 1970s "Space Age" design, featuring a bold tonneau-shaped case and a crisp, minimalist dial. It’s a mechanical piece that balances vintage charm with reliable Swiss engineering. Waltham Geneve - 17 Jewels Incabloc - "Front-Loader" Case Description Up for auction is a striking Waltham Geneve manual-wind wristwatch from the early 1970s. This timepiece features a gold-plated Tonneau (cushion) case, extremely thin watch, with a distinct sunburst brushed finish on the bezel, giving it a powerful presence on the wrist. The dial is a masterclass in mid-century minimalism: a champagne/silver sunburst finish accented by sleek baton markers and a "crosshair" design. Notably, the case back indicates this is a front-loading design ("To Dismantle Movement Lift Crystal"), a feature often used in that era to improve dust and water resistance by reducing entry points into the case. Condition Report • Movement: 17-Jewels Swiss manual wind movement. Running perfectly and keeping good time. • Dial: Excellent vintage condition with minimal aging. Crisp lettering and intact markers. • Case: Good vintage condition with some expected wear to the gold plating on the lugs and edges (commensurate with age). • Crystal: Clear with minor surface scratches that do not obscure the dial. • Strap: Fitted on a modern blue and white "NATO" style textile strap, providing a sporty, contemporary contrast to the gold case. Note to Bidders: Please study the high-resolution photos carefully as they form an integral part of the description. This is a vintage mechanical watch; while running well, regular servicing is always recommended for long-term precision. Shipped within 24hrs of payment via ups
