ORIOSA GENTS INCABLOC WATCH GOLD - PLATED CALIBRE AS1686 RUNS & KEEPS GOOD TIME
Item History & Price
Thisis a working gent’s wristwatch made by Oriosa. I estimate that itwas made in the 1950s. It has a gold-plated case with stainlesssteel back, Incabloc shock-protection, and a 17 jewel hand-windmovement, calibre AS 1686.Thewatch winds, adjusts and runs. It keeps very good time - in thepast two days of winding and observing it, it gained 4 seconds and 12seconds in 24 hours. Sometimes it will run for 40 hours when fully wound, but occasionally it stutters a little, or stops untilg...ently shaken. I conclude that it is complete and fully functional, but would benefit from a clean and lubricate service. The inside caseback has a scratched watchmaker's servicing mark, but I don't know when it was last serviced. Thecase diameter is 33 mm excluding the winding-crown. The gold platinghas extensive wear and scratches, the dial has multiple patina spots, and the crystal has heavy scratches from use. This is a used vintagewatch in worn condition, and may be more suitable as a donor watchfor the working movement. No strap, box or papers with this watch.Myphotos are part of the description.
