1940 - 1960
Description

Swedish City Army-Issued Military Watch — Ref. 3 Crowns No. 368 (Circa 1960s)

The 17-jewel movement features a working hack function and has just been fully serviced. It runs well and keeps accurate time. This is a watch suited to the serious military or vintage collector.

The piece remains in excellent, well-cared-for, original and unrestored condition. Watches by City are extremely hard to find, especially in this state.

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.

This vintage mid-century military wristwatch is a stainless steel timepiece with a silver-coloured round case and a black dial displaying luminous Arabic numerals from one to twelve alongside outer minute markings. It features luminescent hour, minute, and second hands, a winding crown on the right side, and fixed wire lugs at the top and bottom. The dial bears the brand name City and technical text noting seventeen jewels and an Incabloc movement. The case measures 3.4 cm high, 3.4 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. Suitable for a collector of military timepieces, it would find a home displayed within a study, library, or cabinet of curiosities as a historical collector item.

FAQs

A military field watch from this era is a utilitarian timepiece designed for armed forces personnel, featuring high dial legibility, a robust mechanical movement, and a durable metal casing.

These timepieces typically feature stainless steel or chrome-plated cases, acrylic crystals, manual-wind mechanical movements with shock protection systems such as Incabloc, and luminous paint markings on black dials.

Authentic military-issued watches often feature specific military contract codes or issue marks engraved on the case back, standardized black dials with luminous numerals, and fixed or heavy-duty spring lug bars.

A vintage military field watch complements casual, heritage, or utilitarian outfits, particularly when paired with a canvas NATO strap or a plain leather band.

Mechanical timepieces require periodic servicing by a qualified horologist every three to five years, avoidance of water exposure, and keeping the movement away from magnetic fields.
