Gents 1950s Gruen Veri-thin Wrist Watch

1940 - 1960
Description

Gents 1950s Gruen Veri-Thin wrist watch.

The watch has a Swiss 17-jewel hand-winding movement, calibre 415, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed with the Gruen name, and it also has the US import code GXC.

The watch measures 26mm wide excluding the winding crown, and 26mm high excluding the lugs. The case is 10ct gold filled, with a base metal back which is signed with the Gruen name. The case is in very nice condition, as is the lens.

The textured dial is in its original finish with original dagger hands and a subsidiary seconds dial. There is a shade of darkening but still very easy to read the time.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Gruen Veri Thin Wristwatch to the 1950s.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Introduced in the mid-20th century, the Gruen Veri-Thin series was designed to achieve a slender case profile using curved or angled movement components without sacrificing mechanical precision or reliability.

Mid-century dress watches typically utilised gold-filled or electroplated brass cases over stainless steel backs, accompanied by acrylic crystals, painted brass dials, and leather or metal straps.

Authentic pieces feature signature dial typography, correct maker stamps on the inside movement and case back, and period-accurate Swiss or American mechanical movements.

A square vintage dress watch operates as a refined accessory suited for formal wear or smart casual attire, pairing well with tailored suits or minimal modern wardrobes.

Keep the timepiece away from water, strong magnetic fields, and extreme temperature changes, and ensure the mechanical movement is professionally cleaned and lubricated every three to five years.
