wincar - altro - Men - 1970-1979

There’s something irresistible about a watch that doesn’t need electricity to run.
This 1960s Wincar Watch is a direct testimony of the golden age of Swiss watchmaking — when every movement was hand-assembled, every ruby had a precise function, and every watch was designed to last for generations.
The white enamel dial appears in surprising condition for its age: bright, clean, with the gold baton indices perfectly intact. The small seconds hand at 6 o’clock — a detail now almost vanished from modern watchmaking — beats tirelessly, reminding us that inside this case lives still a fully Swiss movement. The inscription "17 Rubis — Incabloc" on the dial certifies the caliber’s quality: 17 jewels in motion parts, Incabloc anti-shock system to protect the balance from shocks — specifications that in the 1960s were synonymous with build quality.
The round case with a domed back is made of solid 18-karat gold (weight 28.6 g), with the Swiss guarantee hallmarks clearly legible beside the serial number. The profile is generous and masculine, with wide lugs and a prominent presence on the wrist.
The burgundy leather strap with crocodile grain gives the whole a warm, lived-in character, perfectly in harmony with the amber tone of the gold case.
A watch for those who want to wear on the wrist not only the time, but history.
