Watch: Gents 1950s Osco Parat Watch

The watch has a 15-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the mark for Osco Parat, founded by Otto Schlund & Co of Schwenningen (Black Forest), Germany. The watch measures 22.5mm wide excluding the winding crown and 32mm high excluding the lugs so it would suit a man with a slimmer wrist, or a lady. The case is chrome plated with a stainless steel case back. Overall the condition is good with just the odd small mark. The convex lens is in good condition (some reflection showing in the photos). The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands. It is also marked as being ‘bruchsicher’ which translates as shockproof. There is light marking to the dial. 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.

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.
