Watch: 1960s Gradus Wrist Watch

The watch has a Swiss 17-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The watch measures 31mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs so it would suit a slimmer wrist. The case is chrome plated while the screw-on case back is stainless steel. It is in good condition. It states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture. The lens is in good condition. The dial is signed Gradus, a brand name registered by the Gladiator Watch Company in 1947, a London based importer and distributor of Swiss watches. The dial is in its original finish and it is in good condition. 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.
