Setter Calendar – Swiss Vintage Triple Calendar Watch (1940s) Mechanical Movement • Triple Calendar • Classic Mid-Century Design This Setter Calendar is an authentic Swiss vintage wristwatch from the 1940s, representing a fascinating period in watchmaking when mechanical complexity and everyday practicality were combined in elegant, compact designs. Featuring a full triple calendar display, this timepiece reflects the technical ambition and refined aesthetics of mid-century Swiss horology. The 33 mm chromed case is true to the era, offering balanced proportions and a discreet wrist presence. The silver dial is clean and well preserved, with applied Arabic numerals and multiple calendar apertures that give the watch a distinctive and functional appearance. At 12 o’clock, the day and month windows are clearly displayed, while the date is indicated via a central hand pointing to the outer calendar scale. The dial layout, visible in the photos, remains highly legible and visually harmonious despite the added calendar complexity. The watch is fitted with an acrylic crystal, which shows a visible crack. This does not affect the functionality of the watch and can be replaced by a watchmaker if desired, a common and straightforward procedure for vintage timepieces. Inside, the watch is powered by a Swiss mechanical movement, offering hours, minutes, seconds, and a full triple calendar function (day, month, and date). Water resistance is untested, as expected for a watch of this age. It is paired with a generic leather strap, suitable for a wrist of up to approximately 21 cm. Condition is Grade B, with visible signs of use consistent with age, including wear to the chromed case, all clearly reflected in the images. A generic box is included.
