A Gents 1950s Rigi Bumper Automatic Wrist Watch

1940 - 1960
Description

A gents 1950s Rigi bumper automatic wrist watch.

The watch has a Swiss bumper automatic movement… early automatic watches relied on the rotor ‘bumping’ backwards and forwards between two springs to maintain the power within the movement. Later automatic watches have the fully rotational rotor. The movement is protected by an inner cover.

The watch measures 33.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is plated with a stainless steel screw-on case back. The condition is good with just the odd minor mark and a 0.5cm scratch to the case back. The case back states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, this should not be relied upon.

The lens is in good order.

The signed dial is in lovely condition.

A new brown leather strap has been fitted.

PRICE INCLUDES WORLDWIDE POSTAGE

Declaration

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

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.
