Vintage Certina Quartz – 18K Gold – 6.00 g Gold Weight – Swiss Made – Date – Watchmaker Checked & New Battery

A classic vintage Certina Quartz Swiss Made wristwatch, featuring a traditional silver dial, date display, warm yellow-gold detailing and an elegant flexible multi-link bracelet. This is an attractive vintage Swiss dress watch combining the established Certina name with genuine 18 karat gold content and the practicality of a quartz movement.

The exact measured weight of the 18K gold components is 6.00 grams. As 18 karat gold is 75% pure gold, this corresponds to approximately 4.50 grams of pure gold content within the 6.00 grams of 18K gold alloy.

The watch has been personally checked by a professional watchmaker, who also installed a new battery. The quartz movement is running following this inspection and battery replacement. This is particularly useful with a vintage quartz watch, as it removes the uncertainty of whether an inactive watch simply requires a battery.

The dial presents a clean and restrained vintage design. It is signed CERTINA beneath 12 o’clock and features applied baton hour markers, slim central hands, a sweeping seconds hand and fine minute markers around the perimeter. At 3 o’clock is a practical date window, giving the watch additional everyday functionality without disturbing its minimalist appearance.

The silver-tone dial contrasts particularly well with the warm yellow-gold elements, creating the classic appearance associated with vintage Swiss gold dress watches. Its simple round case and understated dial make this a highly wearable piece rather than an excessively decorative vintage watch.

The watch is fitted with a flexible gold-tone multi-link bracelet, allowing the bracelet to expand around the wrist. This type of flexible bracelet was widely used on vintage European dress watches and gives the piece a distinctive retro character while remaining practical to wear.

Beyond its value as a functioning vintage Certina, the watch also has intrinsic precious-metal value through its documented 6.00 grams of 18K gold. At 750 fineness, this represents an exact theoretical fine-gold content of 4.50 grams.

Certina is a historic Swiss watch manufacturer and vintage examples have developed a following among collectors of traditional Swiss watches. This example combines several desirable characteristics: Swiss manufacture, genuine 18K gold content, quartz movement, date complication, vintage styling and a professional watchmaker check with a newly installed battery.

The watch shows signs of previous use consistent with its vintage age. Please examine all photographs carefully for the exact cosmetic condition of the case, dial, crystal and bracelet.
