Well, I guess that there are plenty Cyma fans on OF but I couldn’t find a thread for the brand.

Here's my automatic - out of the drawer for a little run.

Comparatively large for this sort of watch at 35mm diameter with 19mm lugs.

 

Cyma, along with Tissot, is one of my preferred brand and well, here are some of them.

Not the best, but the first I bought









My wife' watch












To be continued (if you like...)

 

Great Navystars congrats!

 

Is this an automatic?

 

Love my Cyma, wore it on date night last weekend

 

No. Cal. R459

Very underrated brand!

 

I'm a big fan of Cyma and their Navy Star watches. Very cool and underrated!

 

just the one here, and i dig it

 

Having started this ball rolling, I thought I might update my strap and wear this for a bit

 

My Cyma Navystars get more wear than most of my other vintage watches. Their slim profile along with excellent build quality makes them superb and elegant watches. Every watchmaker I have spoken to have had only good things to say about the way they are made.

 

I just have the WWW but have always thought that there's some good value in vintage Cyma

 

Something more

 

Here is one I started almost 6 years back: https://omegaforums.net/threads/cyma-tavannes.30975/

 

I enjoyed the thread, the links and the photos but the thought that stays with me is that most of the photos of Cymas on OF are of manual wind watches, with a 40s and 50s (or earlier) appearance.
There seem to be few automatics, or 'autorotors' and even fewer that have the 60s, 70s appearance that my automatic has.
The Wikipedia article on Cyma asserts that the company is still ongoing but, unless their watches are sold under a different brand, not much evidence of this.

 

In 1943 Cyma launched its first automatic movement, the caliber 420, with a swinging arm winding in one direction. This movement was fitted into the square-cased "Watersport" model, for example. Another automatic is the "Autorotor" self-winding caliber 485, launched in around 1957. Thereafter Cyma used ETA calibers.
In 1966 Tavannes-Cyma ceased production and the rights to the brand name passed to Chronos Holding.
The best production ends in the 50s IMO.

My only automatic

 

Thanks for this

 

Again








Some pockets...











...and a table alarm clock to finish with Cyma, but...

 

The only Cyma I own -- dates from late 1940s/early 1950s. A rather unusual piece, 38mm jumbo in solid 18k. It doesn't get the wrist time it deserves.
