Gents 9ct Gold Universal Geneve Wrist Watch 1964

The watch has a good 17-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement was made by the ebauche (blank movement) manufacturer Eta and then finished by Universal Geneve. The watch measures 33.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is 9 carat gold and there are hallmarks inside the case back for London 1964. There is also a maker’s mark Ds&S which is the makers mark for David Shackman and Sons, a London based case maker. At the time, precious metal cases were often made within the UK for Swiss movements thus avoiding import tax on precious metals. The front of the case is in lovely condition. The case back has a slight indentation. The lens is in lovely condition. The signed dial is in lovely condition and has a good clean appearance. 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).
