The oldest watch in your collection?

Recommended Posts

Daywatch

No wristwatch has made it, oldest from the surviving is this solid gold, swiss Hunter pocketwatch ca. 1885, Chaux de Fonds, which has a hinged inner, back and front cover.

The other 2 are mid 1930´s/1940´s ones

and the legendary Cortébert Speciale, Cal. 616. The Cortebert 616 was made as the Rolex 616/618 during the 30-40'ties and supplied to produce Panerai dive-watches.

As reliable as the day it was made, keeping good time with good power reserve and with a deep, nice, hefty, solid feel when winding

Fucking gorgeous

 

Thanks guys.

Exactly what I thought too.

No more than 3 mins elapsed between spotting it on ebay and sending the money.

I love the classic styling.
