Description & Technical Details

Up for auction is a wonderful representation of 1970s Swiss watch design: a vintage Doxa Automatic dress watch featuring an iconic cushion-shaped case. Founded by Georges Ducommun in 1889 in the heart of Swiss watchmaking (Le Locle), Doxa built its reputation on manufacturing extremely precise pocket watches and dashboards for automobiles, later becoming legendary for its tool watches.
This specific piece captures the bold, architectural design shifts of the 1970s, moving away from slim round profiles toward substantial, sweeping geometric cases that command attention on the wrist.
• The Geometry: The wide, brushed gold surfaces of the cushion case create an incredible framing effect for the dial. Its square-like silhouette sits incredibly flat and comfortable on the arm.
• The Contrast: The silver-champagne sunburst dial provides excellent legibility thanks to the high-contrast black inserts embedded directly into the golden hands and hour indices.

Condition Report & Servicing Status

• Mechanical State: Fully operational. The automatic rotor spins smoothly, winding the mainspring efficiently. The watch sets correctly, the date advances as intended, and it keeps reliable vintage time.
• Cosmetics: In good, honest vintage condition. The gold-plated case shows surface hairline marks, micro-scratches, and minor localized wear/rubbing to the gold plating—particularly on the sharp corners, high edges, and near the lugs—appropriate for a watch that has been loved and worn over the decades. The solid stainless steel screw-down back is sharp with deep, perfectly legible factory reference stampings ("4310"). The original dial is very clean with a beautifully preserved sunburst effect and minimal signs of age. The domed Plexiglas crystal has been lightly polished and remains highly clear.
• Note: As with all vintage timepieces, water resistance is not tested or guaranteed. Please keep this historic watch away from direct moisture or water contact.
