Hi guys,

Does anyone have information about this ladies Olma that I just purchased for the price of a main course?

The case back appears to read 236. Based on the Bonklip I would guess that it is either 1940s or 1930s.
Any thoughts?

Greetings, nice little thing- agree overall, late 1930s from the style of the case, Bonklip 1940s.
Those slanted radial numerals are cute.

Olma was one of several brands owned by Numa Jeannin SA of Fleurier, and obviously worn by beautiful women as seen here:

I agree on the numerals and the case has swivel lugs. I've been trying to find a men's watch with swivel lugs for years now, preferably a 1930s clamshell, but no success so far. I couldn't let this slip.

I intend to gift it to a beautiful woman but I'm not sure she will wear it. I adore Bonklips but it is an acquired taste after all.
