Story & Heritage

This Lorenz Edox Calatrava reflects the elegance of classic mid-century Swiss watchmaking, when dress watches were designed with balance, discretion and mechanical reliability in mind. The Calatrava-style case, with its clean round profile and refined proportions, has remained one of the most timeless forms in horology.

The silver sunburst dial, gold-tone indexes and date window give this watch a graceful vintage personality. Its 17-jewel Swiss mechanical movement represents the traditional craftsmanship of the era, while the Incabloc marking recalls a period when shock protection became an important feature for daily-wear mechanical watches.

Elegant, discreet and full of vintage charm, this is a beautiful piece for collectors who appreciate classic Swiss mechanical watches with authentic character.
