IDMA - 1970-1979

Overview
This is a very appealing Swiss made IDMA Stockholm stopwatch style pocket watch with a strong instrument character. The white dial is highly legible, featuring a large outer seconds scale and a 30 minute recording register at 12 o’clock. Its clean, purposeful layout gives it a distinctive early timing instrument look. The key appeal is that this is not an ordinary three hand pocket watch, but a more specialised mechanical timing piece with clear collector charm.
