Description

A lady’s 1950s asymetrical Orfina missile wrist watch.

Orfina was founded in Grenchen, Switzerland in 1922 and they were a successful company eventually producing aviation and navigation pieces, together with wrist watches for the military.

The watch has a 17-jewel hand-winding movement, with Incabloc shockproofing, which is working nicely.

The watch itself measures 41mm high and 19mm wide. The case is gold plated with a stainless steel case back and it is in lovely condition, as is the lens.

The signed dial has very minor marking, nothing detrimental at all.

The watch has its original Orfina strap… it is showing signs of age so we can change this for a new leather strap if preferred. The screw on the back of the strap has lost some of its plated finish.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
