Gents 1950s “Silver” Chronograph Wrist Watch by Antoremi

1940 - 1960
Description

Gents 1950s “Silver” chronograph wrist watch by Antoremi.

The watch has a 17-jewel Landeron 53 hand-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 38mm diameter excluding the winding crown, buttons and lugs. The case is chromium plated and it is in good condition with just general light surface marks, nothing too serious at all.

The lens is in good condition (some reflection in the photos).

The dial is signed Silver, a brand name registered by Antoremi SARL of Milan, Italy, who registered the Silver name in 1951. The dial is in its original finish with original hands (the painted infill has been removed over the years, maybe because of radium content). Two subsidiary seconds dials, one for constant seconds and the other to record up to 30 minutes.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1950s:
Landeron cam-action chronograph movement: mid-twentieth-century Swiss manufacture.
Chromium-plated case with stainless steel back: standard post-war European production.
Warm champagne patina across the dial: decades of natural light exposure.
Wear to the plating on pushers and crown: long years of hand winding.

This men's chronograph wristwatch dates from the 1950s Mid-Century period and is manufactured by Antoremi. The piece comprises a chromium-plated stainless steel case measuring 38 mm in diameter, a cream-coloured dial featuring dual sub-dials, teardrop indices, and a tachymeter scale, alongside a manual wind movement operated via side pushers and a winding crown. Additional visible details include Arabic numerals at the twelve and six positions, slender hands, and a replacement brown leather strap secured with a traditional buckle. The watch shows light surface marks consistent with general handling, alongside a clean crystal lens and an aged dial finish. This vintage timepiece is suitable for everyday wear or as a collector's piece for display within a gentleman's library or study interior setting.

FAQs

Chronograph wristwatches gained widespread popularity during the mid-twentieth century due to their utility in aviation, sports, and military timing. Mid-century models typically featured dual register dials and manual-wind movements encased in steel or chrome-plated metal.

Timepieces from this era commonly utilized stainless steel or chrome-plated brass cases, acrylic crystal lenses, and synthetic rubies within the movement mechanism to reduce mechanical friction. Straps were predominantly crafted from genuine leather.

Authenticity is evaluated by inspecting dial markings, movement jewels, casing stamps, and pusher functionality. Original dials often display natural age patina, while authentic movements feature specific jewel counts such as 17 rubis engraved directly onto the plate.

A mid-century chronograph offers versatile aesthetic appeal, pairing naturally with tailored suits for formal occasions or smart-casual wear like knits and denim. The textured leather strap and classic dial proportion complement both modern and traditional wardrobes.

Manual-wind timepieces should be wound gently once daily until resistance is met, without forcing the crown. Moisture contact must be avoided as vintage gaskets deteriorate over time, and professional mechanical servicing is recommended every three to five years.
