Condition Report

The watch is offered in Grade B condition, showing visible signs of wear consistent with its age. The gold-plated case presents scratches, surface marks and areas of plating loss, particularly around the edges and lugs. The dial, hands and applied markers show natural ageing, while the acrylic crystal may display light marks from previous use.

The automatic movement is functioning at the time of listing. The day and date functions are operational. As with any vintage mechanical watch, daily accuracy may vary. No service history is available, and future performance cannot be guaranteed.

Water resistance has not been tested; therefore, contact with water should be avoided.

Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the condition description.

Story & Heritage

This Codhor belongs to an era when numerous independent Swiss manufacturers created expressive mechanical watches for a growing international market. Automatic winding and day-date displays were desirable features, offering the wearer both mechanical sophistication and practical information at a glance.

Its cushion-shaped gold-plated case, silver sunburst dial and bold calendar window capture the unmistakable aesthetic of the period. Rather than hiding its history, the visible wear and softened plating reveal decades of genuine use and give the watch an individual character.

Today, such watches offer collectors an accessible glimpse into traditional Swiss manufacturing—before quartz technology transformed the industry. This Codhor remains a charming and highly wearable survivor from that important chapter in horological history.
