Gents 1950s Regulator Wrist Watch

1940 - 1960
Description

UK POSTAGE ONLY FOR THIS ITEM

Gents 1950s regulator wrist watch.

The watch has a Swiss 15 jewel calibre FHF 200 hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is held in place by the retaining ring, hence the two retaining screw holes within the movement are empty.

The watch measures 35mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is chromium plated. It has general light marking but nothing too serious at all. Stainless steel case back.

The lens has a small mark at the top although you have to look closely to see it. Other than that, it is in good condition.

The dial is in good original condition with original blued steel hands to the subsidiary dials and original red seconds hand. The dial has been left blank so that the original watch company could add their details… signed examples of this watch can be found from Girard Perregaux, Ernest Borel and Cyma.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Vintage Regulator Wrist Watch 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

A regulator watch features non-coaxial hands, meaning the hour, minute, and second displays are separated onto distinct sub-dials or central indicators. Historically derived from master clocks used in watchmaking workshops, this layout prioritises precise reading of the minutes without obstruction from hour hands.

Timepieces from the 1950s typically feature stainless steel or chrome-plated base metal cases, acrylic crystals over the dial, and mechanical manual-wind or automatic movements. Straps were predominantly crafted from stitched leather or articulated metal bands.

Authentic period watches display appropriate natural patination, sharp dial printing, and period-correct typography. Look for mechanical hand-wound movements stamped with Swiss or manufacturer hallmarks, correct sub-dial proportioning, and age-consistent wear on the crown and case edges.

A mid-century regulator watch serves as a understated technical accessory that complements both tailored suits and casual menswear. The distinct sub-dial arrangement offers a subtle point of visual interest alongside classic leather footwear and metal cuffs.

Keep mechanical watches away from strong magnetic fields, moisture, and high temperatures. Manual-wind mechanisms should be wound gently until tension is felt, and the movement should be professionally serviced every three to five years to keep internal lubricants fresh.
