Watch: Gents 1960s Precimax Wrist Watch

The watch has a Swiss 17-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The watch measures 34mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The main body of the case is gold plated. There is some marking but it is mainly to the back of the watch. The case back is stainless steel. The lens is in good condition (some reflection showing in the photos). The dial is signed Precimax, a brand name first registered by Helios Sa of Neuchâtel, Switzerland in the 1930s. The dial is in its original finish with dauphine shaped hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an early form of quickset date where the hands are moved repeatedly backwards and forwards between 12 midnight and 9.45pm until the desired date is reached. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All Prices Include UK Postage.
