Gents 1950s Swiss Wrist Watch

1940 - 1960
Description

Gents 1950s Swiss wrist watch.

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

The watch measures 32mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the handsomely shaped lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in lovely condition, as is the lens.

The dial has been left blank so that the original retailer could add their details if required. It is in beautiful original condition with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The watch comes in its original presentation box from Kemp Brothers of Bristol.

Declaration

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.
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.
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.

Wristwatches from the 1950s reflect mid-century aesthetic preferences, featuring smaller case diameters typically between 30mm and 36mm, clean dial layouts, Arabic or dagger indices, and sub-seconds or central seconds dials.

Cases were generally crafted from stainless steel, chrome-plated base metals, or solid gold, fitted with acrylic crystals and paired with leather or metallic expandable straps.

Authentic pieces feature clear markings on the dial and movement, such as Swiss Made or jewel counts, alongside period-correct mechanical movement architecture and natural patina on the dial hands and case.

A classic mid-century wristwatch pairs naturally with formal tailored suits or smart-casual wear, adding a understated historical element to modern outfits.

Mechanical watches should be serviced every three to five years by a qualified horologist to clean, lubricate, and adjust the movement, and should be kept away from water and strong magnetic fields.
