The case displays surface scratches, marks and visible wear to the gold plating, particularly around the lugs and exposed edges. The dial retains its attractive textured appearance, with age-related patina and small marks visible on the dial and small-seconds register. The hands and applied markers also show traces of ageing. The case back presents surface scratches, while the leather strap shows creasing and wear. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the condition description. Water resistance has not been tested. Contact with water should therefore be avoided unless the watch is professionally pressure-tested and resealed. Story & Heritage The charm of a vintage watch often lies in the details that distinguish it at a closer glance. This Lanco offers precisely that experience: an initially restrained dress watch that reveals a richly patterned dial, sculptural hour markers and an elegant interplay of textures. The fine geometric guilloché pattern catches the light across the dial, providing a decorative background for the applied numerals and stars. Below the centre, the small-seconds register introduces a smoother contrasting surface, allowing the passing seconds to occupy their own quiet space. At 37 mm, the jumbo case gives the design an appealing presence on the wrist. Its slender bezel leaves generous room for the dial, while the elongated, curved lugs lend the silhouette a graceful profile. The warm brown leather strap complements the golden tones and reinforces its vintage character. With its Swiss mechanical movement, distinctive dial and honest signs of age, this Lanco is an attractive choice for collectors who appreciate expressive vintage design and the enduring pleasure of a traditional mechanical watch.
