Story & Heritage

During the mid-20th century, the company produced a wide range of accessible Swiss watches, many of them characterized by reliable mechanical movements and designs reflecting the aesthetics of their era.
The De Luxe designation gives this example a particularly elegant character. Its combination of a sunburst silver dial, gold-tone details and gold plated case captures the restrained refinement associated with Swiss watches of the 1960s.

The Antimagnetic marking on the dial is also characteristic of an era when protection against magnetic fields was an important practical feature increasingly promoted by Swiss manufacturers.

A beautiful choice for collectors of affordable Swiss mechanical watches and enthusiasts of authentic mid-century design.
