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.

Dealers Notes

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (because of GPSR legislation, we no longer post items less than 100 years old to Europe, including Northern Ireland).

Please contact us regarding international shipping.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.

Credit / debit card purchases up to £300 can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the 'Purchase Antique' button on each listing page. Alternatively, there is a Paypal payment link if you scroll down the page and we also accept bank transfers.

We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

FAQs

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.
