Interesting new acquisition

Post by pacifichrono » Mon May 07, 2012 8:31 am

I bought this Swiss 1950s(?) military watch from a guy in England (seller pics). It's in remarkably good condition, a full 35mm wide excluding the signed crown, and bears a very interesting caseback design, especially for so long ago.

An added plus: it's equipped with a "military" Unitas 6325 movement with 21 jewels!

Can't wait to get it. :grin:

One of the nicest vintage pieces I have seen here. It's too small for me, but you vintage members grew up on these "civilized" pieces.
