Gents 1950s Primula Automatic Wrist Watch

Gents 1950s Primula automatic wrist watch.
 
The watch has a good quality 18-jewel Felsa 410 automatic Bidynator movement which is working nicely. Early automatic watches had been powered with bumper movements. Rolex subsequently developed a full rotor system where the rotor moved in one direction - this movement was protected by a patent.

The watch measures 32mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case has a handsome chunkiness to it, it is stainless steel and it is in lovely condition.
