Story & Heritage
Pallas is a name associated with vintage Swiss mechanical watches, reflecting an era when traditional watchmaking combined reliable engineering with elegant and expressive dial designs. During the 1940s and 1950s, the bullseye dial became a distinctive aesthetic feature in wristwatch design. Characterised by contrasting concentric circles, this style created a striking visual effect while enhancing the legibility of the hour markers.

This Pallas is a beautiful example of that design tradition, featuring a silver-tone centre, a bold black chapter ring and applied Arabic numerals that create a refined architectural composition. Its red central seconds hand adds a subtle touch of colour, while the 17-jewel Swiss mechanical movement with Incabloc shock protection reflects the practical engineering standards of traditional watchmaking.

The Antimagnetic marking further highlights the technical priorities of the period, when manufacturers increasingly sought to protect mechanical movements against everyday magnetic interference.
Today, vintage bullseye watches are appreciated by collectors for their distinctive dial configurations, period character and strong connection to the golden age of mechanical wristwatches.
A characterful vintage Swiss timepiece combining elegant mid-century design, traditional mechanical craftsmanship and the unmistakable charm of a classic bullseye dial.
