Condition Report

Grade B – Good condition, with normal signs of wear.

The stainless-steel case presents light scratches and traces consistent with regular use. The original leather strap shows visible creasing and wear, particularly around the edges, while remaining wearable. The blue textured dial, applied markers and hands retain a highly attractive appearance. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the condition description.

Although the watch is marked as water-resistant to 100 metres, its water resistance has not been tested. Contact with water should therefore be avoided unless the watch is professionally pressure-tested and resealed.

Story & Heritage

Armand Nicolet has its roots in Tramelan, one of the historic watchmaking centres of the Swiss Jura. The region has long been associated with skilled movement construction and the patient craftsmanship required to transform numerous tiny components into a precise mechanical instrument.

This Tramelan Day-Date reflects that heritage through a modern and confident design. The richly textured blue dial changes character with the light, while the luminous markers and broad hands provide excellent legibility. At 6 o’clock, the neatly framed day and date displays create a balanced focal point without disturbing the dial’s symmetry.

Turn the watch over and its mechanical heart becomes visible through the exhibition case back—a reminder that an automatic watch is more than an accessory. Powered by the motion of its wearer, it is a living piece of engineering designed to accompany daily life. With its generous 43 mm proportions, warm brown leather strap and refined blue dial, this Armand Nicolet offers an appealing combination of Swiss tradition, practical complication and contemporary elegance.
