Elegant and distinctive Swiss-made Midway wristwatch from the 1950s, powered by the renowned ETA caliber 1080 manual-winding mechanical movement in its 21-jewel version, featuring Incabloc shock protection and central seconds. The most striking feature of this example is its beautiful champagne dial with a radial finish, enhanced by a large raised geometric star motif at the center, applied hour markers, and gold-tone hands. A distinctive configuration that perfectly reflects the design aesthetics of the 1950s. The ETA 1080 caliber, introduced around 1950, is an interesting historic hand-wound movement featuring direct central seconds. The case and screw-down case back are made of stainless steel, with classic proportions typical of the period. The watch is completed by a NOS genuine brown leather strap, particularly well suited to its vintage character.
