Lado Anti-Magnetic Jumbo (Steel, Switzerland) – Oversized 1950s Design with Sculpted Dial XL - jumbo Model Overview This Lado Anti-Magnetic wristwatch is a striking example of mid-century Swiss watchmaking, likely dating to the 1950s–1960s period. Featuring an unusually large 38.5 mm “jumbo” case, it stands out in a category where most watches were significantly smaller, making it highly wearable by modern standards. The dial showcases a distinctive sculpted, almost scalloped inner pattern, combined with applied Arabic numerals and gilt indices, giving it strong visual character. The anti-magnetic designation reflects the technical focus of the era, aimed at improving reliability in everyday environments. With its small seconds subdial and classic proportions, this is a rare and stylish vintage piece with clear collector appeal.
