Description from the seller
Family-owned pocket watch Latino, very well preserved and showing only minimal signs of wear consistent with its age. It has seen little use and was last professionally serviced in 2024. A beautiful and well-maintained example, ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.
Chromed case engraved, lepine case, Swiss.
The case is more characteristic of late Art Deco / the transition into the post-war period than of the Art Deco style of the 1970s.
The combination of case + dial is particularly coherent:
Movement produced by Unitas, S497, 17 jewels, incabloc, Frosting bridge finishing surfaces, crown at 12 o'clock.
White dial, Arabic numerals, heavy moon hands, seconds at 6 o'clock.
As this is a vintage mechanical watch, I can confirm that it is in perfect working order. However, I cannot guarantee its timekeeping accuracy.
