About This Watch

Vintage. No box/papers. This is a New Old Stock! One lot of such watches were discovered by an overseas dealer & we have carefully selected three pieces as some have aged dials & damaged cases. This watch is in like new condition & never worn, some had the factory tags on them! Completely original watch including the thick plastic crystal that didn't yellowed. Case is numbered on the back & signed by Doxa inside. This watch survived WWII! The movement is Tonneau shaped & in perfect, fresh condition which is protected by a brass dust-cover which could have been the anti-magnetic shield as well. Stainless steel case was rare for pre-war watches as the material is difficult to work with using the technology available then. Many such watches were heavily abused & corroded but this example is still fresh waiting for the first owner!
Doxa is a reputable watch manufacturer from Switzerland. They made many exciting watches in the past including high complications & even had cloisonné enamel dial watches. Like all Swiss firms, they were badly affected by the quartz revolution few decades ago.
