Condition Report
The watch is offered in Grade B+ condition and presents attractively overall, with fine traces of previous use. Light scratches and surface marks may be found on the case, bezel, bracelet, clasp and case back.
The white dial remains clean and well balanced, with gold-tone applied markers, matching hands and a framed date aperture at 3 o’clock. The mineral crystal may show minor surface traces under close inspection.
The Swiss quartz movement is functioning at the time of listing. Although the watch is rated as water-resistant to 100 metres, its water resistance has not been tested; contact with water is therefore not recommended.
Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the condition description.
Story & Heritage
Wittnauer traces its history to the late nineteenth century, when Swiss-born watchmaker Albert Wittnauer recognised a growing demand in the United States for reliable Swiss watches adapted to modern life. The company developed a strong reputation for precision instruments, navigation watches and robust wristwatches designed for active use.
Over the decades, Wittnauer timepieces became associated with exploration, aviation and technical reliability. This sporting heritage is reflected in the present diver-style model, with its rotating timing bezel, luminous display, protected crown and solid stainless-steel construction.
Unlike the purely functional appearance of many traditional diving watches, this example introduces elegant two-tone detailing. The gold-tone bezel, crown, dial furniture and bracelet accents contrast beautifully with the brushed steel surfaces and white dial. Compact at 37 mm, it offers a balanced presence on the wrist and moves effortlessly between sporting and formal settings—a versatile expression of Wittnauer’s longstanding combination of Swiss precision and American character.
