Edox - Vintage pocket watch - 1970-1979

Introduction

This auction presents a vintage Edox mechanical pocket watch, a Swiss-made timepiece with an elegant gold-tone hunter case and original guarantee paper dated 1976.

The dial is signed “EDOX” and marked “SWISS MADE” at the bottom. It features black Arabic numerals, a red 13–24 hour scale, blued-style hands and a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock. The watch has a classic pocket watch layout with a decorative gold-tone hunter-style case.

The watch is accompanied by its original Edox guarantee paper, which includes a handwritten date from 1976. This makes it a nice collectible example with period documentation.

Historical / Era context

Edox is a Swiss watch brand founded in 1884 by Christian Rüefli-Flury in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. The brand became known for producing Swiss mechanical and later waterproof wristwatches, and continued to develop a wide range of elegant and practical timepieces throughout the 20th century.

This pocket watch is considered a vintage piece from the 1970s, supported by the included guarantee paper dated 1976. While pocket watches were no longer the mainstream daily timepiece by this period, Swiss brands such as Edox continued to produce them as formal, traditional and collectible watches.
