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

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

Dealers Notes

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (because of GPSR legislation, we no longer post items less than 100 years old to Europe, including Northern Ireland).

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 a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.

Credit / debit card purchases up to £300 can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the 'Purchase Antique' button on each listing page. Alternatively, there is a Paypal payment link if you scroll down the page and we also accept bank transfers.

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.

With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.

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

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.
