Onsa - Automatic - Black Dial - No reserve price - Men - 1970

Onsa – Automatic 25 Jewels – Black Dial – Swiss Made – Vintage 1970s Offered for auction is a beautiful and increasingly rare Onsa Automatic, a Swiss-made vintage timepiece featuring a striking black textured dial and a classic 1970s stainless steel case design. This model stands out thanks to its uncommon black dial with vertical brushed texture and applied geometric hour markers, giving the watch a strong vintage character typical of the 1970s design era. The dial features applied steel indices with different shapes, creating a very interesting and uncommon visual layout. The date window is positioned at 6 o’clock, a desirable and well-balanced configuration rarely found on many watches of the period. The dial is signed “Automatic – 25 Jewels” and “Swiss Made,” confirming its Swiss mechanical movement. The stainless steel case has a classic tonneau cushion shape typical for the 1970s, offering a strong wrist presence despite its elegant 35 mm size. The watch is fitted with an acrylic crystal, consistent with the period of production.
