Gents 1950s Morex Wrist Watch by Montilier

1940 - 1960
Description

Gents 1950s Morex wrist watch by Montilier.

The watch has a Swiss in-house 17-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Morex, a brand name first registered by Montilier Watch Co SA of Montilier, Switzerland in 1937.

The watch measures 34.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition with just general light marks, nothing serious at all. The screw-on case back has the Morex logo. 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 lovely condition.

The dial has darkened a shade or two with age but still very easy to read the time. Original hands and centre seconds hand.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this 1950s Gents 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

Mid-century Swiss wristwatches from the 1950s typically feature clean, functional dial design, hand-wound or early automatic jewelled movements, round stainless steel or gold-plated cases, and minimalist index hour markers.

Wristwatches of this period were constructed using stainless steel, chrome-plated base metals, acrylic crystals, synthetic jewels within the movement bearings, and natural leather straps.

Authentic pieces generally display natural age-related dial patination, period-correct movement markings indicating jewel count and origin, hand-wound mechanical calibres, and stamped interior case backs.

A mid-century wristwatch serves as a subtle personal accessory for daily formal or casual wear, or can be displayed alongside horological collectibles on a dress valet tray.

Mechanical timepieces require periodic servicing by a qualified horologist to lubricate moving parts, should be kept away from strong magnetic fields, and must be protected from moisture as historical seals degrade over time.
