Watch : Gents or Ladies 1950s Lanco Wrist Watch, Original Box

The watch has a 15 jewel hand-winding movement, calibre 1022, which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the name Lanco, a brand name first registered by the Langendorf Watch Company in 1913. The watch measures 31mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs so it could be worn by a man or a lady. The case is gold plated with a stainless steel case back and it is all in beautiful condition, as is the lens (some natural light reflection showing in the photos). The back of the watch states that the watch is water resistant but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture. The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and minute markers. The watch has its original strap although we could replace this with a brown or black strap if preferred. The watch comes in its original presentation box, original Lanco label also included. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please contact us regarding international shipping costs.
