Description

Gents Wittnauer automatic wrist watch.

The watch has a signed Wittnauer 17-jewel calibre 11ARB automatic movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 32mm excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is gold filled while the case back is stainless steel. The case is in beautiful condition, just a few surface scratches to the back but nothing too serious.

The lens is in lovely condition.

The signed dial is in its original finish with original dauphine hands, the centre seconds is a period replacement although the original would have had the same blued steel finish (the second hand is a little blurred in the photos due to the slow shutter speed / low light). A little discolouration to the dial but overall a really nice look.

A later leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this piece to the 1950s.
