Description

Gents 1950s Delbana wrist watch.

The watch has a Swiss 17 jewel Geneva Sport Caliber 40.41 (marked GSW 40.41) movement which is working nicely. This movement was used in various watches from the 1950s and 1960s including Delbana.

The watch measures 34mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is chrome plated while the screw-on case back is stainless steel. The case is in beautiful condition. The case back is signed with the Delbana name, and it also states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture.

The lens is in super condition (some white natural light reflection showing in the photo).

The signed dial is in lovely original condition with original hands, red centre seconds sweep and outer minute markers.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Vintage Delbana Watch to the 1950s.

Please contact us regarding international shipping.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

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.

FAQs

Watches from the 1950s typically feature clean dials, understated case diameters, Arabic or marker numerals, and mechanical hand-wound or early automatic movements.

Traditional construction involved stainless steel, gold-plated or solid gold cases, acrylic or plexiglass crystals, and genuine leather straps.

Authentic pieces generally feature signed movements and dials with Swiss maker marks, jewel counts stamped on the movement, and period-correct case back engravings.

Pair a classic mid-century dress watch with tailored modern tailoring or minimalist casual wear to highlight its timeless horological appeal.

Keep vintage watches away from moisture and magnetic fields, service mechanical movements every few years, and replace worn leather straps with compatible period styles.
