Gents large 1950s Perseo Spirofix wrist watch by Cortebert.
The watch has a 15-jewel hand-winding movement, a Cortebert calibre 677, which is working nicely.
The watch is a good wearable size at 38mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The main body of the case is gold plated and the case back is stainless steel. The case is in good condition, just the odd minor mark and some rubbing to the tops of the lugs, nothing too serious at all.
The lens is in lovely condition (some reflection showing in the photos).
The dial is signed Perseo Spirofix. The brand name Perseo was first registered by Cortebert in 1913. The dial is in its original finish with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
