The brand reached its peak between the 1950s and 1970s, combining Swiss precision with contemporary design trends. Oberon became known for producing affordable yet reliable mechanical watches. Collectors especially appreciate their “jump hour” models, which displayed the time using rotating discs instead of traditional hands. The brand also produced sports and diver watches. During the quartz crisis, Oberon struggled to adapt to new technologies and eventually disappeared, but today it remains appreciated among vintage watch collectors. A truly beautiful and large vintage piece, perfect for collectors and everyday wear. Fast and insured shipping with FedEx.
