Gents 1950s Elco wrist watch by Helvetia
Gents 1950s Elco wrist watch by Helvetia.
The watch has a Helvetia calibre 837 21-jewel automatic movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Elco. Elco Clocks & Watches became the British agency for Helvetia in 1947.
As with many Helvetia watches, the crown is wound anti clockwise to charge up the automatic movement.
The watch measures 35mm diameter excluding the later winding crown and the lugs. The main body of the case is chromium plated and there is some wear and marking. The screw-on case back is stainless steel. It states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture.
The lens is in lovely condition… there is some reflection showing in the photo.
The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands and centre seconds hand with red pointer end.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us before placing international orders so that we can advise of shipping prices and to see if customs regulations allow us to post watches to your country.
The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes.
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.
