A gents late 1930s Art Deco Driva wrist watch
A gents late 1930s Art Deco Driva wrist watch.
Driva was founded in 1924 in La Chaux de Fonds, a famous location in the history of watchmaking. The founder was one of the members of the Hirsch family, an important family in the horological world. The original company went bankrupt after just five years but was resurrected in Geneva in 1938. Driva became very successful, supplying many private label watches with a large market in the United States. Unfortunately, as with so many manufacturers of mechanical watches, they did not survive the quartz revolution of the 1970s.
This particular watch has a Swiss hand-winding movement, a 15-jewels ETA 390, which is working nicely.
The itself measures 27.5mm wide excluding the winding crown and 31mm high excluding the lugs. The case is nickel and it is in good condition with just light surface marks.
The lens is in good condition too.
The signed dial is in its original untouched finish which has darkened with age but still easy to read the time.
A later leather strap has been fitted.
The watch will be sent in a new presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.
Please contact us for international shipping prices.
The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable. If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.
Due to Customs regulations, we are unable to send watches / precious metals to certain countries. If you are unsure about your country’s regulations, please contact us and we can check for you. Any orders from prohibited countries will be refunded, less any Paypal fees which are non-refundable.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.
Credit / debit card purchases can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the \'Buy Securely\' button on each listing page.
We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
