Here is an original and uncommon TUDOR OYSTER LONDON dating to the 1950’s, housed in a full sized and LARGE looking 34mm. stainless steel case with stainless steel OYSTER back, all made by ROLEX. The dial on this watch is fabulous-all original, with original blued steel cathedral hands and red sweep seconds. I love the natural aging that has occurred! Look at the original luminous as well! ROLEX produced these uncommon watches for the Commonwealth market along with the models Essex, Chester, Devon and Bristol.

This 1959 OMEGA Seamaster has a shimmering 34mm. stainless steel case with thick, “beefy” lugs, original OMEGA winding crown, signed OMEGA hesalite crystal and great looks overall. The dial is original, with Dauphine hands and raised steel markers. The caliber 501 movement is automatic-just cleaned and accurate. These classic 1950’s Seamasters are very reliable and a pleasure to wear. Finding original dials, hands, crown and crystal is becoming less common!

This is a rugged and reliable 1980’s vintage OMEGA SEAMASTER 200m. Quartz watch measuring 37mm. with original stainless steel bracelet fitting up to a 7.25 inch wrist. This bracelet even has a pristine signed flip-lock OMEGA buckle. The entire watch looks close to new-scratch-less including the sapphire crystal. The OMEGA screw-down crown is present. I love how the original dial and hands have taken on this great vanilla tone. The turning bezel is pristine and has a matching matching vanilla lume dot as well. Of course, being a quartz, this watch is very accurate. This makes a great vacation or every-day-wearing watch!

This 1965 LONGINES is actually a men’s watch, but would wear great on a lady. The solid 18k. white gold case measures 25.5mm. and has authentic diamonds around the bezel. This is an attractive model we’ve not found until this example. It is very different how the lugs curl upward. The winding crown is correct LONGINES. This manual winding LONGINES movement was just cleaned and and is accurately keeping time. The dial and hands are original with some ageing, providing a great vintage look. It’s not easy to find square 18k. white gold watches-especially at this price.

This is a very uncommon circa 1969 UNIVERSAL GENEVE railroad watch utilized and approved by the Canadian National Railroad. To be “Railroad approved by C.N., the watch had to meet the following specifications: “Watch movements and cases used in service must be of the approved standard in effect at date of entry. All watches entering service must be of the anti-magnetic type, fitted with 24 hour dial, waterproof, shockproof with stainless steel screw-back case and equipped with tension ring crystal. Cases with gold plating on stainless steel and stainless steel with gold top are permissible” This 35mm. gold plated case with inwardly curved lugs and stainless steel case back displays excellent condition. The easy to read original railroad dial with original handset looks very good with mild ageing. This Universal Geneve Railroad watch is one of the more difficult examples to find.

This 33.5mm. WW2 era Pierce chronograph measures 33.5mm. with a stainless steel back and chrome plated sides. The ORIGINAL black dial, hands and luminous is very well-preserved and looks striking! The up-down chronograph manual winding movement was just cleaned and is accurate, with all chronograph functions operating smoothly. I like the knurled accented chrono pushers. The entire watch looks fantastic on the wrist. It’s great to find such a fine looking original chronograph from the 1940’s.

This 1991 38mm. OMEGA SPEEDMASTER chronograph is known as the “reduced”, to due its slightly smaller size when compared with the Omega Speedmaster Moon watch. This particular example houses the fine 46 jewel automatic winding OMEGA chronograph caliber 1140 OMEGA movement-just cleaned and accurate with all functions working perfectly. The all gold dial, crown pushers and gold accented bezel really add a great look to this SPEEDMASTER. The entire watch displays excellent overall condition. This watch is priced well.

This 34.25mm. stainless steel vintage watch is a time capsule and comes complete with its original box and papers. The original dial has taken on amazing patina over the years and has EVENLY aged to perfection. The steel hands and markers are original-inlaid with black fill. The caliber 8541 automatic winding movement was cleaned and is keeping time. The bracelet has an unsigned buckle, but looks like the type IWC used during the era. The original “fish” logo crown is present. It’s so amazing to find a such a complete package dating to 1968!

This is the larger version of the R.C.A.F. pilot’s watch (compared to the Waltham) from the 1950’s measuring 33mm. in stainless steel. The case has not been polished. The dial is original as are the hands. I’ve had these watches many times and found them with lighter luminous on the hands. This version is more desirable than the smaller WALTHAM version; being that it has a LONGINES manual winding movement and is larger than its 30mm. brother. This movement was just cleaned and is accurate. These are becoming quite hard to find these days. Own a piece of Canadian military history.
