All original, freshly serviced and working perfectly: a vintage Swiss Made Mercator pocket watch. This piece dates back to the 1950's or 1960's based on its movement. The front features a white enamel dial with black Arabic numerals and Breguet style hands. A sub dial at the 6 O'Clock position counts down the seconds. Considering its age, the dial is in exceptional condition. No chips or cracks can be found, and all lettering is still sharp and clear. It is housed in a stainless steel hunter style pocket watch case measuring 47mm in diameter. The "hunter" case features a clamshell design with a spring-hinged cover that closes over the watch dial and crystal. Said lid effectively protects the watch from damage, scratches or dust, and is gorgeously decorated with a wild horse scenery on the front. The case back is decorated with a flower engraving.
Inside we find a high quality Swiss Made Unitas 6498 movement, which is still in production to this day under the ETA 6498 brand. It is the same movement used in a number of larger high quality wristwatches, such as Omega, Hamilton and Panerai.
The watch was lovingly restored with eye for authenticity. Its movement was completely disassembled, cleaned and lubricated, and is now working perfectly for years to come. The outside case has been cleaned entirely as well, but left unpolished to maintain its patina and originality. A brand new plexiglass crystal was fitted. In all, a very well preserved and fully functional piece.
