·Hi all,
I purchased a couple vintage watches a while ago as a potential gift for a family member. But, the gifting went in a different direction and these watches have been with me ever since. Up for sale today is the first of these vintage watches, a Hilton time and date with a manual wind movement. While inexpensive relative to most vintage watches I own, I believe this one also has some nice details that those of us who love vintage may appreciate.
- Stainless steel case in seemingly unpolished or minimally polished condition
- Beautiful and clean silver sunburst dial with dauphine hands
- Faceted hour markers
- Red date wheel that also matches the red in the logo
- Inverted smiley font for "Unbreakable Mainspring"
Summary: All in all, a really charming vintage piece where the experience of wearing it is much greater than the sum of its parts. The dial says 2 stars but personally I'd give it at least a 3.5😁
Additional Information:
Size: 34mm without crown
Year: 1960s
Caliber: Manual wind, winds smoothly and keeps good time
Box/papers: No/No
Strap: New black leather strap with white stitching
I’m pricing it friendly at $99 USD + cost of shipping hoping it finds the wrist of someone looking to get into watches and/or vintage watches. Watch and I are in the US and I can ship worldwide (with some exceptions).
