Gents 1960s Mappin Chronograph Wrist Watch

1940 - 1960
Description

Gents 1960s Mappin chronograph wrist watch.

The watch has a Swiss 17-jewel Landeron 248 hand-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 35mm wide excluding the winding crown, and 35mm high excluding the lugs. The case is gold plated and it is in good condition, just a small mark to the side of the top left lug. The stainless steel screw-on case back states that the watch is water resistant but, as with any vintage watches, it should be kept away from water and moisture.

The lens is in good condition.

The dial is signed Mappin, the original retailer of the watch. It is in lovely condition with original hands. The chronograph feature is operated by pressing the top button to start, the bottom button to stop and again re-set to zero. There are two subsidiary dials, one for constant seconds and the other to record up to 30 minutes.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

FAQs

A 1960s chronograph wristwatch combines traditional timekeeping with a stopwatch functionality, usually displayed via dual or triple sub-dials on the main face. During this era, cases evolved towards distinct geometric shapes like cushion and tonneau forms, housing hand-wound mechanical movements.

Mid-century chronographs often feature cases made from gold plate, solid gold, or stainless steel, paired with acrylic crystals over the dial. Straps were traditionally crafted from stitched leather, pigskin, or metal expansion bands.

Authenticity is verified by inspecting the movement hallmarks, manufacturer branding on the dial, and movement stampings inside the case back. Examining the font consistency, sub-dial alignment, and Swiss-made designations near the six oclock position also helps confirm age.

A vintage chronograph with a leather strap bridges formal and smart-casual attire, complementing tailored suits, tweed jackets, or casual knitwear. The metallic case and distinct sub-dials provide a understated focal point for modern tailoring.

Mechanical watches require regular servicing every three to five years by a qualified watchmaker to clean and lubricate internal gears. Keep the timepiece away from water, strong magnetic fields, and extreme temperature changes to prevent damage to the movement.
