Square and rectangular watches became symbols of sophistication and architectural design, moving beyond traditional round cases and embracing a more contemporary identity. This Richard Automatic embodies that spirit beautifully — a watch designed for everyday elegance, powered by a dependable Swiss automatic movement and presented in a refined geometric case that remains remarkably stylish today. Vintage square-case Swiss watches have become increasingly appreciated among collectors for their originality, timeless proportions, and authentic mid-century character. A charming and elegant Swiss vintage automatic watch with strong retro personality and timeless dress-watch appeal. Express Delivery Via UPS Express Internal Reference Number - ITA 130
