Marvin “Flying Dutchman” wrist watch, circa 1955
A Marvin “Flying Dutchman” wrist watch, circa 1955.
The “Flying Dutchman” was named after KLM, the Royal Dutch Airlines, chose Marvin for their official timepiece. The model was first designed and produced in 1955 and the watch and airline were cross marketed (as shown on the advert in the photo).
The watch has a calibre 560 hand-winding movement, 17 jewels, three adjustments, which is working nicely. You will see on the movement that there are two empty screw holes… these should not have screws as the movement is being held in by a retaining plate.
The watch itself measures 32.5mm wide excluding the winding crown and 32.5mm high excluding the lugs. The case is gold capped which means a thick layer of gold has been applied to the front of the case. The stainless steel case back is signed with the Marvin name. The case is in good condition, just minor marking but nothing detrimental at all. The winding crown is a later replacement.
The lens is in good condition.
The signed dial has a textured sunburst design in its original finish. There is a little darkening and marking. The dial is also signed with the name of the original retailer, A & J Smith, Aberdeen. Dauphine shaped hands, centre seconds hand and outer minute markers.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch will be sent 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.
