Condition Report

Grade B – Good condition, with signs of use consistent with age.

The chromed case displays scratches, rubbing and areas of plating wear, particularly around the bezel, sides and lugs. The case back shows surface scratches and more pronounced marks near its edge. The black factory dial exhibits spotting, patina and visible deterioration around the outer calendar scale, with some numerals and markings faded. The hands show age-related wear, and the acrylic crystal presents scratches and surface marks. The original box also shows signs of age and handling. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the condition description.

Water resistance has not been tested. Contact with water should therefore be avoided unless the watch is professionally assessed, pressure-tested and resealed where appropriate.

Story & Heritage

The charm of this Doxa lies in its expressive approach to displaying time and date. The calendar is read around the dial’s outer edge, where a dedicated central hand points towards the day of the month. This arrangement gives the watch a distinctive appearance and adds mechanical interest to its compact proportions.

The black factory dial provides a dramatic background for the warm-toned Arabic numerals and fine printed scales. At 6 o’clock, the separate seconds register balances the composition, while the contrasting hands introduce another layer of detail beneath the curved acrylic crystal.

Its visible patina gives this example an individual vintage character. The softened printing and aged surfaces invite close inspection, revealing a watch whose appeal rests as much in its details as in its overall design. The olive-green suede-finish strap complements these muted tones beautifully.

Accompanied by an original Doxa box, this Pointer Date offers an attractive combination of traditional Swiss mechanics, an engaging calendar complication and distinctive period styling—a characterful addition to a vintage watch collection.
