Item History & Price
Vintage 1950s Mens Helvetia Watch Serviced Cal. 82C. Condition is Used. Dispatched with Royal Mail Signed For® 2nd Class.
Just Serviced. It has a sweeping gold tone sub seconds hand. It has gold tone arabic hour markers and gold tone dauphine type hands. The tri-part case has been cleaned. It has a stainless steel case back and bezel. The dial is crisp and clearly legible with light age related patina and has been lightly cleaned of loose dirt. The dial reads 'Helvetia Swiss ma...de' The movement has been fully stripped, cleaned, oiled and regulated. A new 282 acrylic crystal has been fitted. A new brown padded 16mm regular leather strap has been fitted with new spring bars. The watch runs well and keeps time (currently +10 sec/day on the wrist. This can vary but certainly within a minute per day or better). The case measures 31mm excluding the crown (33mm with crown) 38mm lug to lug with a 17mm lug width. signs of light wear, light scratches commensurate to age but nothing major and only really visible under magnification. considering it's about 70 years old I would stop short of describing it as near mint condition.
Due to the age of the watch, I obviously cannot offer any guarantee of future performance. However, it has been worn regularly and has been serviced twice during the time I've owned it. It has been thoroughly tested and is running with no issues.
I'm reducing my watch collection of Smiths, J W Benson and other interesting vintage watches so please see my other watches for sale.
