Watch: Gents 1940s New Old Stock Gabriel Wrist Watch

The watch has a 15-jewel ETA calibre 810 hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The watch measures 25mm wide excluding the winding crown, and 25.5mm high excluding the fixed wire lugs. It was originally designed to be worn by a man but, with today’s fashions, it could be worn by a lady too. The case is stainless steel and it is in beautiful unworn condition. The lens is also in beautiful condition. The dial is signed Gabriel, a brand name registered by several companies but possibly G Bernheim of Brussels who registered the name in the 1930s. All in super original condition. The watch has its original strap although because of the way it has been stored, one half is slightly faded. We can put a new leather strap on if preferred. The original price ticket, in francs, is still intact. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
