Item History & Price
Mens Vintage Oriosa Reverse Panda Chronograph Watch, Valjoux 7733 & Original Box
Vintage manual wound chronographs are steadily rising in value and will continue to do so, Reverse Panda dial examples with Swiss Valjoux Movements are also some of the most desirable watches within the vintage watch world.
This watch has a white on black 'Reverse Panda' dial with white textured subdials (check out the macro picture for detail), with lovely custard lume and a white Kmh rail runni...ng round the edge of the dial. Considering this watch is nearly 60 years old, it has been really looked after as it is in amazing condition and running beautifully. Not to forget, it comes with a burgundy vintage Oriosa watch box! The Oriosa brand is a long forgotten Swiss manufacturer that produced some top quality watches; my local watch maker in Somerset mentioned that he dealt with Oriosa S.A a great deal before the 'Quartz Crisis' in the 1970's, he always has great things to say about how well they are made, their reliable movements and their overall style. Unfortunately like many Swiss brands that existed before the Quartz Crisis they failed to ride out the wave and sadly died out which is a real shame. Nevertheless this is good for you if you are looking to buy this watch, as they will only get rarer and rarer.
We have team it with a black handmade leather strap made from 100% genuine leather obtained from Pittards in Somerset (UK), it is specifically tailored to this watch with contrast white stitching that really brings out that reverse panda dial. It feels great, will age gorgeously and will mould perfectly to your wrist!
