Gents 1950s Rotary Wrist Watch

1940 - 1960
Description

Gents 1950s Rotary wrist watch.

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Rotary wings logo.

The watch measures 26mm wide across the main body (excluding lugs and winding crown), and 26.5mm high excluding the lugs. The case is chrome plated while the case back is stainless steel. It is in lovely condition.

The lens has light marking, nothing too serious.

The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a later Rotary presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this 1950s Gents Rotary 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.

We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

FAQs

Mid-century Rotary timepieces from the 1950s typically feature mechanical hand-wound movements, rectangular or round chrome and steel cases, analogue dials with sub-seconds registers, and Swiss manufacturing credentials.

Wristwatches from this era commonly utilised stainless steel or chrome-plated brass cases, acrylic crystals, metallic dials with painted or applied numerals, and genuine leather straps.

Authentic pieces feature crisp dial typography with the winged Rotary emblem, hallmark stamps on the internal case back, and jewel count markings on both the dial and movement.

A vintage rectangular dress watch pairs effectively with tailored suits or smart casual attire, providing a refined historic accent to contemporary menswear.

Mechanical watches require periodic servicing by a horologist every three to five years, protection from moisture and magnetic fields, and careful manual winding without forcing the crown.
