Description

Gents 1950s Madorina wrist watch.

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

The watch measures 26mm wide excluding the winding crown and 29mm high excluding the lugs. The case is chromium plated while the case back is stainless steel. There is general light marking but overall the condition is very acceptable for a 1950s piece.

The convex lens is in lovely condition.

The dial is signed Madorina, a brand name registered by at least four different companies in the first half of the 20th century. The dial is in its original finish… the unusual numbers are a charming feature.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Date of Manufacture

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

Wristwatches from the 1950s often featured clean dial layouts, minimalist numerals, and alternative geometric cases such as square or rectangular silhouettes.

Typical materials included chrome-plated or stainless steel cases, acrylic crystals, and genuine leather straps paired with mechanical brass movements.

Authenticity is usually verified by examining the movement calibre stamped inside the case back, hallmark stamps, and the natural ageing of the dial and hands.

A vintage timepiece adds understated sophistication to contemporary wardrobe choices, pairing well with tailored suits or smart-casual attire.

Keep mechanical watches away from moisture and magnetic fields, avoid overwinding, and service the internal movement periodically to ensure longevity.
