Description

Gents 1940s New Old Stock Gabriel wrist watch.

The watch has a 15-jewel ETA calibre 810 hand-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 25mm wide excluding the winding crown, and 25.5mm high excluding the fixed wire lugs. It was originally designed to be worn by a man but, with today’s fashions, it could be worn by a lady too. The case is stainless steel and it is in beautiful unworn condition.

The lens is also in beautiful condition.

The dial is signed Gabriel, a brand name registered by several companies but possibly G Bernheim of Brussels who registered the name in the 1930s. All in super original condition.

The watch has its original strap although because of the way it has been stored, one half is slightly faded. We can put a new leather strap on if preferred. The original price ticket, in francs, is still intact.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Vintage Mens Wristwatch to the 1940s.

FAQs

The 1940s featured functional yet elegant designs, often characterised by geometric square or rectangular cases, Arabic numerals, and subsidiary seconds dials due to wartime manufacturing constraints and military influences.

These timepieces typically utilised stainless steel, chrome-plated brass, or gold for the cases, paired with genuine leather straps and acrylic or glass crystals protecting the dial.

Authentic pieces often feature hand-wound mechanical movements, appropriate hallmarks or maker marks on the inner case back, aged patina on the dial, and fixed or spring-loaded lug bars matching the eras manufacturing techniques.

A vintage wristwatch adds understated elegance and classic character when paired with tailored modern suiting or smart-casual attire, serving as a subtle focal point for daily wear.

Keep the timepiece away from moisture and extreme magnetic fields, wind it gently at consistent times if worn, and have it professionally serviced every few years to maintain movement lubrication and accuracy.
