Ariston - Field Watch - Cal. AS 1123 - No reserve price - Unisex - 1900-1949

Rare Ariston mechanical watch from the 1940s, a fascinating Swiss timepiece manufactured in Switzerland with a design distinctly inspired by the military world, characterized by clean lines, excellent legibility, and robust construction.
Although it cannot be classified with absolute certainty as an officially issued military watch, it presents many aesthetic elements typical of military field watches of the era: compact case, clean and sober dial, small seconds at 6 o’clock, and a peripheral minutes track running around the entire dial, a feature highly valued for precision and readability.
The manual movement AS 1123 with 17 jewels and shock protection represents reliable and sought-after Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship, while the cream dial with original patina provides strong historical authenticity and collector interest.
The peripheral track, often mistakenly described as tachymeter but really a railway minutes/seconds track, gives this watch a technical and functional character typical of timepieces used in operational or professional contexts in the 1940s.
Completely functional and equipped with a new genuine brown leather strap, it is an excellent collectible item for enthusiasts of vintage military style, field watches, and historic Swiss horology.
