Pierce – Military Style – 15 Jewels – Incabloc – Manual Wind – Swiss Made – 1950s A very characterful vintage Pierce Swiss military-style wristwatch, most likely from the 1950s. The watch features a hand-wound Swiss movement with 15 jewels and shock protection. Similar Pierce military-style pieces from this period are known with manually wound 15-jewel movements and utilitarian dial layouts. The original champagne/cream dial has developed strong natural patina, giving the watch an authentic aged appearance. It combines Arabic numerals, triangular military-style hour markers and a recessed small-seconds subdial at 6 o’clock.
