Sold by The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

Description

A gents good-sized 1950s Avia wrist watch.

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch itself is a very good size at 34.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is a combination of a plated bezel (although the plate has been polished off down to the brass underneath), an alloy centre and a stainless steel case back... this is a combination that is often seen on watches made in the second half of the 1940s. There is some marking to the case commensurate with its age but overall it is in a very acceptable condition for a 1950s piece.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial has a great character, just how you want a vintage watch to look.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a vintage Avia presentation box.
