Watch: Gents 1960s Valesia Wrist Watch

The watch has a 25 jewel automatic movement which is working nicely. The watch measures 33.5mm 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 rubbing to the lugs, and on the back of the watch. The case back states that the watch is water protected but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture. The lens is in lovely condition (some reflection showing in the photos). The dial is signed Valesia, a brand name registered by the Swiss watch assembly company Belvil Watch Co. Sa. The dial is in its original finish with original hands, centre seconds hand and date display. This is an early form of quickset date where the hands are moved repeatedly backwards and forwards between 12 midnight and 8pm 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. Please contact us for international shipping prices (Ddu, details in delivery information section below).
