Gents 18ct Gold Cyma Wrist Watch, 1969

Gents 18ct gold Cyma wrist watch, 1969.

The watch has a hand-winding movement, a Synchron 40, which is working nicely. Cyma was an independent manufacturer until the 1970's when they became part of the Synchron group along with Doxa, Ernest Borel, and West End.

The watch itself measures 34mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is 18ct gold and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Edinburgh (import mark), with a date letter for 1969 (although it is very small and difficult to read) so it would have been produced during the crossover period between Cyma and Synchron. The case is in good condition, just a couple of minor pin prick indentations to the back.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands, centre seconds and outer minute markers.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
