great condition and great vibe

Model Overview
This elegant vintage wristwatch by Doxa represents the refined design language of Swiss dress watches from the mid-20th century. Founded in 1889 in Le Locle, Doxa became known for producing high-quality mechanical timepieces combining technical reliability with clean and timeless aesthetics.

The present example features a striking black dial complemented by applied gold-tone Arabic numerals and indices. A distinctive red central seconds hand adds a subtle sporty contrast to the otherwise classic layout.
Based on its age, the dial may have been refinished at some point during the 1950s–1960s; however, if this is the case it appears to have been carried out in a highly professional and period-correct manner. No documentation is available to confirm this.

Inside the watch beats a Swiss manual-winding movement signed by Doxa S.A., demonstrating the traditional mechanical watchmaking typical of the period. With its balanced proportions and elegant dial design, this watch reflects the understated sophistication of vintage Swiss horology.
