This is a very attractive vintage Wittnauer wristwatch that runs great and is in beautiful condition. We believe this watch is from the 1950s.
The Swiss movement is caliber 11WSG2 with 17 jewels, and is unadjusted.
The gorgeous silver sunburst dial features gold-applied baton indices, gold sword-shaped luminous hands with a gold stick sweep second hand. The sub second is located at 6 o'clock. The dial is signed Wittnauer, Swiss, and has a gold-applied W. The cushion-shaped case measures 30.3 mm in diameter and is a shiny 10 karat yellow gold filled bezel. The stainless steel caseback is personalized- it is signed "Jim Walsh from Youth Div. 1964." Such a special piece to own!
This Wittnauer comes with a new brown leather two-piece strap with a gold buckle.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended. Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have. It will be carefully packed.
