Titus
All original, freshly serviced and working perfectly: a vintage and relatively rare Swiss Made Titus Pentastar men's dress watch, presumably dating back to the mid 1970s. Solvil & Titus might not be as famous as a vintage watch brand, but has been around since 1887 and made a number of highly regarded timepieces. One of them is this "Pentastar" model: it features a refined and thin stainless steel case which measures 34mm in diameter and is just 8.5mm thick. The dial on this particular example comes in a glossy creamy silver sunburst finish with black raised indices. The date window is positioned rather oddly in between the 4 and 5 O'clock position, and magnified by the loupe integrated into the original crystal. Inside the watch sits a highly regarded Swiss made manual winding movement: the ETA 2408. The crown is signed with the Solvil & Titus "Laurel Leaves" symbol. The watch comes fitted to a brand new black leather strap with generic buckle, ready to wear.
The example sold here has been lightly worn, but is in very good condition: it even has the original "Titus" sticker on the case back. The watch was lovingly serviced with eye for authenticity. Its movement was completely disassembled, cleaned and lubricated, and is working perfectly. The outside case has been cleaned entirely, but left unpolished to maintain its sharp edges and curves. The original crystal looks to be in close to perfect condition as well: it features a Cyclops lens above the calendar window. The dial has developed a few uniformly spread specks over time, but they are fairly minimal and only visible in certain lighting conditions. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. In all, a very well preserved and fully functional vintage wristwatch. Sold as watch only: sadly no original box or paperwork are present.
Your new timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages. If you have any questions regarding the item or our services, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'll gladly assist as soon as we get the chance!
