Story & Heritage
Corona Suisse was among the many respected Swiss manufacturers supplying reliable mechanical watches during the 1930s–1940s, an era defined by precision, durability, and clear legibility. Watches from this period were built to serve professionals, military personnel, and civilians alike, emphasizing function over excess.
This example features a beautifully aged silver dial, now displaying a warm and even patina developed naturally over decades. The applied Arabic numerals remain crisp and legible, while the recessed small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock adds both balance and classic character — a hallmark of watches from the era.
The stainless steel case, correctly sized at 31 mm for the period, shows honest wear that speaks to its history without detracting from its integrity. On the case back, the “Stainless Steel” marking and reference number further confirm its vintage origin and utilitarian purpose.
Powered by a traditional Swiss mechanical movement, this Corona Suisse offers a tactile, engaging ownership experience — a reminder of a time when watches were purely mechanical companions, built to last generations.
A genuine collector’s vintage watch, ideal for enthusiasts of early Swiss wristwatches, wartime-era design, or understated historical timepieces.
