Watch: Gents 1960s Avia Wrist Watch

The watch has a Swiss 17 jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The watch measures 32mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs…. originally designed as a man’s watch, it would suit a slim wrist. The case is gold plated while the screw-on case back is stainless steel. It is in nice condition, just the odd minor mark, nothing serious at all. The lens is in good condition. The signed dial is in lovely original condition with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and roulette date display (this is an early form of quickset date which is initially set by moving the hands backwards and forwards between midnight and 9.50pm). 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.
