The silver-tone dial shows scattered spotting and age-related patina. The applied markers and hands display tarnishing, with visible darkening and deterioration of the luminous material. The small seconds subdial retains its concentric pattern and legible scale.
The acrylic crystal shows surface marks consistent with use. The generic leather strap displays creasing and wear around the attachment points.
Despite the historical “Waterproof” inscription, the watch has not been tested for water resistance, therefore water resistance is not guaranteed.

Story & Heritage
This Venus Super captures the visual charm of mid-century mechanical watches: compact dimensions, sculpted hour markers and a separate seconds display.
The contrast between the silver-tone dial and gold-tone details creates a refined appearance, while the patina gives the piece an individual character. The signed movement and decorated Venus case back offer further details for collectors to appreciate.
A characterful vintage watch for enthusiasts of traditional Swiss mechanical timepieces and classic small seconds designs.
