This Roamer is a quintessential 1950s Swiss dress watch, featuring the brand's legendary patented "Breveté" waterproof case. Known for their in-house manufacturing, Roamer watches from this era offer incredible value and a distinct "Morf" case construction that separates the movement from the outer shell.

Description A Mid-Century Swiss Classic This vintage Roamer is more than just a timepiece; it's a piece of horological engineering history. The case back features four distinct Swiss patent numbers 305467, 305776, 307382, 308491 which refer to the innovative waterproof case design granted to Roamer in 1955. The dial is the true star here—a stunning champagne sunburst that catches the light beautifully, complemented by applied silver-tone Arabic numerals at the even hours. It retains a clean, minimalist aesthetic that fits perfectly under a shirt cuff or paired with a casual sweater. Technical Note: Powered by a robust 17-jewel manual wind movement, this watch represents the era when Roamer was a true "manufacture," producing nearly every component in-house. While currently keeping good time, it is sold with an unknown service history, making it a perfect candidate for a collector or a vintage enthusiast looking for a reliable "daily driver" with a bit of a story.
