Watch : Gents 1960s Certina Blue Ribbon Wrist Watch

The watch has a signed Swiss 27-jewel automatic movement, calibre 25-651, which is working nicely. The watch measures 34mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is gold plated and it is in very nice condition. The stainless steel screw-on case back is signed inside with the Certina name. The lens is in good condition. The signed dial is in lovely original condition with original hands, centre seconds hand and an early form of quickset date where the hands are moved backwards and forwards repeatedly between 12 midnight and 11pm until the desired date is reached. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch will be sent in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
