Ebana 20 Rubis Super Shock Resist Art-deco Men's Vintage Wristwatch

1940 - 1960
Description

A vintage Ebana 20 Rubis Super Shock Resist Antimagnetic Wristwatch. This mechanical wristwatch incorporates 20 jewels, and its dial prominently displays "Super Shock Resist" and "Antimagnetic" properties, which are features commonly found in vintage mechanical watches engineered to enhance durability and accuracy.

The watch is identified by the "Ebana" brand name, and the "20 Rubis" designation refers to the 20 synthetic jewels strategically placed as bearings within the watch's mechanical movement, serving to minimize friction and wear. The "Super Shock Resist" feature denotes a shock-absorbing mechanism designed to safeguard the delicate balance staff from potential damage caused by impacts. Concurrently, "Antimagnetic" signifies the watch's resistance to magnetic fields, which are known to adversely affect the precision of timekeeping. Given the "Rubis" indication, the watch operates on a mechanical movement, with a manual-winding, consistent with watches produced in the mid-20th century.

Declaration

Bushells Antiques has dated this Art Deco Gold Wristwatch to the 1950s.

This men's vintage wristwatch originates from the 1950 period and follows an Art Deco style. The piece comprises a gold-tone square case with fancy lugs, a cream-coloured dial fitted with numeric hour markers, a red second hand, and an expanding metal strap alternating in gold and silver tones. Text on the face includes the brand name Ebana, the 20 rubis designation, and the super shock resist antimagnetic note, alongside glass covering the dial face and a winding crown positioned on the side. The overall dimensions measure 2 cm across the case, providing a compact scale suitable for daily wear on the wrist. Today, this mechanical timepiece serves as a functional accessory that can be worn daily or integrated into a collection of mid-century personal items and vintage horology. The watch brings period character to an outfit when worn on the wrist or stored within a display case or dressing table tray alongside other period accessories. Its combination of gold and silver tones allows for versatile coordination with various wardrobe styles and personal items.

FAQs

Art Deco wristwatches typically feature geometric case profiles, such as square, rectangular, or cushion shapes, alongside stylized numeric typographies and angular decorative lugs. Originating between the 1920s and 1940s, these timepieces reflected modern industrial design trends of the era.

Mid-century wristwatches were commonly crafted with brass or steel cases finished in gold plate or chrome, paired with acrylic crystals and stainless steel case backs. Movements utilised synthetic ruby jewels to reduce friction on critical pivot points.

Authenticity is verified by dial inscriptions detailing jewel counts or shock-resistance features, correct movement hallmarks beneath the balance wheel, and period-appropriate case construction techniques such as stepped lugs and snap-off or screw-down backs.

When not worn, vintage wristwatches are frequently incorporated into bedroom or dressing room styling, arranged on a brass watch stand, leather valet tray, or glass cloche atop a chest of drawers.

Mechanical watches require periodic servicing every three to five years to clean and re-lubricate the movement. They should be kept away from strong magnetic fields, stored in a dry environment, and protected from direct contact with water.
