Watch: Gents 1960s Nivada Wrist Watch

The watch has a 17-jewel Swiss hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Nivada, a brand name first registered by Nivada Sa of Grenchen in Switzerland in 1937. You will notice in the photo of the movement that there are two empty holes. These are sometimes used for retaining screws but, in this instance, they are not required. The watch measures 33mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The main body of the case is gold plated while the screw-on case back is stainless steel. There is some wear to the plate on the back of the watch but other than that, the case is in good condition. The case back 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 lovely condition. The signed dial is in its original finish. There is light marking but nothing too serious. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box.
