Watch: 1930s Mid-size Alpina Wrist Watch

The watch has a calibre 490 hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Alpina name, and it is all protected by an inner fitted cover. The watch measures 22mm wide excluding the winding crown and 35mm high excluding the articulated lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in lovely condition. The lens is in good condition (some white reflection in the photos). The signed dial is in its original finish which has darkened over the years. Replacement period hands. The subsidiary seconds dial is not working, purely decorative. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please contact us before placing international orders so that we can advise of shipping prices and to see if customs regulations allow us to post watches to your country. The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes. 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.
