The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

Description

Gents 1950s Madorina wrist watch.

The watch has a 15-jewel ETA hand-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 26mm wide excluding the winding crown and 29mm high excluding the lugs. The case is chromium plated while the case back is stainless steel. There is general light marking but overall the condition is very acceptable for a 1950s piece.

The convex lens is in lovely condition.

The dial is signed Madorina, a brand name registered by at least four different companies in the first half of the 20th century. The dial is in its original finish… the unusual numbers are a charming feature.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
