Dear OF,

Up for your consideration is this sweet Cyma Navystar in all original and remarkable condition. I've tried my best to produce some satisfying macros despite the weak late afternoon sun here in The Netherlands.


The off-white dial with golden details is the obvious eyecatcher in the sharp steel case, even in the moody shots above. Luckily I also made some shots this summer.


This picture shows particularly well how the bevels round the bend, as I like to say, swiveling all around the lug's edge and touching the lug base. This case is as sharp as it gets.


The inscribed screw down case back is as sharp as one might expect based on the photos above. The only real downside to the watch is a spot of oxidation on one of the lugs (which is, of course, invisible while wearing it).


Dimensions 34mm excluding crown. The crown is also original.


This deal also includes this box and stainless steel buckle. I can only assume they must be original to the watch since I received them along with it.


The movement is probably the manual in-house Cyma cal. 454 or 458 based on age, but I cannot confirm this since I lack the tools to open watches properly. Anyway, the watch runs very accurately and with a good power reserve.

My asking price for this piece is EUR 500,00 including tracked & insured shipping within the EU. I can ship worldwide for a small additional cost, PM for specifics. This includes the box and buckle as pictured above, but no strap.
The watch and I are located in The Netherlands.

Nice watch.

Please share dimensions.

The engraving on the case back is interesting. A quick search on Google reveals very little about the recipient but there is a colourful obituary for a Frederick J Hampson who seems to have had quite an adventurous life.
