Vintage Gents 1950s Candino Hand Winding Wrist Watch

A vintage 1950s gents Candino wrist watch.

The watch has a Swiss 17-jewel hand-winding movement which is ticking away nicely and the time keeping is good to within around 2 minutes over a 24 hour period and the date changes as it should. The movement is stamped 17 jewels, 3 adjustments, Swiss made.

The watch measures 34.6 mm wide excluding the winding crown and 43.3 mm high including the lugs. The gold plated case has light surface marks from use and light wear to the edges but otherwise it is in nice condition. The case back is stamped Candino, stainless steel back, supershock resist, antimagnetic, waterproof, cased and timed by Swiss precision watch craftsmen. The case back has waterproof on it although with any vintage watch I would not rely on it being waterproof. The case back has a light surface scratch across it and light surface marking.

The lens is in nice condition.

The dial is signed Candino, 17 jewels, unbreakable mainspring with Swiss at the bottom. The dial has light discolouring and some wear to the text although it has a good vintage look.

The watch has its original hands.

The watch has a new black leather strap.

Price includes free worldwide postage.
