Gents 1950s Colant Supermatic Automatic Wrist Watch

Gents 1950s Colant Supermatic automatic wrist watch.

The watch has a 30-jewel automatic movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Colant. The brand name Colant was registered by a couple of companies but we believe this one was registered by Wwe. O Rieder-Fröhlicher of Solothurn, Switzerland in 1954.

The watch itself measures 31mm wide excluding the winding crown and 31mm high excluding the lugs. The case is gold plated and the design is very unusual and most attractive. It is in good condition, just a little light marking. The stainless steel case back is signed Colant on both the inside and the outside, it also states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial has a part textured finish in the style of a Maltese cross. It is in its original finish which is in nice condition with original hands and centre seconds hand.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
