This is a large SORNA 45.5mm. bullhead chronograph that is essentially new old stock. The chrome case and exotic dial are essentially pristine. The movement was just cleaned and all functions are operating smoothly and accurately. These watches look amazing on the wrist!

This SEIKO reference 6139-8102 from the late 1960’s is a very good looking and uncommon vintage chronograph. The 39mm. stainless steel case and original bracelet display fine overall condition for the age. The striking black dial is the hardest and most desirable to find among the range of colours available in this model. The polished bezel frames the extremely attractive original black dial with original handset. The original crown is present. The day of the week wheel can be set to either English or Spanish. The fine automatic Seiko, Japan – calibre 6139B, 17 jewel movement was just cleaned and is accurate. This really is a great looking and highly collectible vintage SEIKO.

The GLYCINE AIRMAN vintage military watch was used in Vietnam and was popular among military servicemen and pilots everywhere. From the 1950’s to the 1970’s pilots have relied on the AIRMAN due to their bold and easy to read 24 hour dial. These dials display both 24 hour time and conventional time at the same time. This 1960’s GLYCINE dial is very clean, all original The lume on the hands was updated many years ago. Notice the early and uncommon red date. The unpolished stainless steel case is in exceptional shape and retains the original turning bezel, along with the original (early 60’s version) screw-back. The lower crown locks the rotating bezel. The automatic winding, signed FELSA 892 was recently (expensively) cleaned. These watches are becoming hard to find in original condition. Many are not aware, GLYCINE AIRMAN watches have a hacking seconds feature. When the crown is pulled out a hollow tube shoots up a microscopic wire at 12:00 stopping the second hand when it reaches 12:00. This hacking seconds feature is working perfectly. Please also note. PARTS TO FIX SECOND STOP ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE…they sold out 2007. Due to the desirability of the GLYCINE AIRMAN, there are FAKES out there… many are getting scammed-be careful, especially on eBay. This truly is a prime and hard-to-find example.

This is a MASSIVE 1960’s vintage WAKMANN Chronograph measuring 40.5mm. in stainless steel with the original stainless steel bracelet.The original turning bezel is pristine, as is the amazing “panda” dial having inner tachymeter scale. The steel bevel-lug case looks amazing, with only a ding on the inner lower left bezel that could be polished if desired. The fine Valjoux 7733 manual winding movement was just cleaned and is accurate, with the chronograph functioning perfectly. I can’t say I’ve found a better preserved example of this undervalued watch. Finding large and fine vintage chronographs such as this is becoming quite uncommon. I expect these to increase in value.

Here is a vintage stainless steel OMEGA FLIGHTMASTER cal. 911 vintage watch dating to 1971 and measuring 43x52mm. The caliber 911 (cal. 861 based) manual winding OMEGA movement was just fully overhauled, cleaned, functioning perfectly and keeping accurate time. The OMEGA mineral glass crystal is without a scratch. The original dial and hands are about as clean as they come (essentially like new). The jet plane on the case back is still readable. The 20mm. OMEGA stainless steel original bracelet is still present. Much money was spent replacing the pushers with the correct, pristine coloured OMEGA pushers and crowns. The case was restored, with only one battle scar ding on the bezel edge. The dial is amazing-beautifully colour changed to a “tropical” tone and retains the ORIGINAL handset. The yellow hands were needed when infrared was on in the cockpit, allowing for easy readability. Usually, the hands have been replaced with NEW-these are original. The Flightmaster was produced in low numbers compared to many other OMEGA models. This is a large, cool and imposing watch on the wrist! We have priced this watch very well.

This automatic winding caliber 565 OMEGA automatic winding movement was just cleaned and is accurate. The OMEGA AUTOMATIC watch dates to 1970 with the case looking very clean and scratch less. The crystal is signed and correct OMEGA hesalite, plus the crown is original OMEGA. This dial is original with some subtle aging that looks MUCH less noticeable in person, and more of a uniform and appealing patina when you see it on your wrist. We purchased this watch from the original owner here in London, Ontario, who indicated that he barely wore the watch over the years-keeping it in a drawer. This fine OMEGA can be worn daily for a lifetime! 

This is a spectacular IWC automatic 1960’s watch in stainless steel, housing the fine caliber 8531 automatic winding IWC movement which was just cleaned and accurate. The original logo crown is still present. The steel 35mm. case is absolutely shimmering. This dial looks pristine and is VERY hard to tell it was restored-and looks amazing. If you want a black or brown leather band, please let me know and I will switch it. These watches are truly undervalued in my opinion. Wear this daily for a lifetime! 

Sekonda (founded in 1966) watches are manufactured in Russia; and being a BRITISH company, were then distributed to the public. This circa late 1960’s example is one of the cleanest I’ve ever found. The chrome case measures 36mm. and looks like it was barely worn. The stunning glossy black dial and hands are pristine. I just love the lime green lume plots, hands and red accents. The fine chronograph movement is based on the Venus 150/152 caliber, just cleaned and is accurate. You will marvel over this example.

This is not an ordinary OMEGA SEAMASTER. This 1970 OMEGA SEAMASTER is a large 36x44x11mm. with beefy lugs, correct OMEGA hesalite crystal and correct OMEGA winding crown. The ORIGINAL stardust dial with dual name “TURLER” dial, denotes this watch was sold by “TURLER”-a GENEVA based jewelrly store for the past 130 years. This dial and original hands look pristine and really grabs the eye. The fine caliber 565 automatic 24 jewel movement was recently cleaned and is accurate.

This is a timeless classic-a 1960’s OMEGA DE Ville 34mm. with gold capped case and steel back. The dial and hands are original and extremely clean. The crown was replaced at some time with a generic crown that looks very similar to the De Ville crown. The fine 500 series caliber OMEGA movement was cleaned and is accurate. This is a fine OMEGA you can wear daily at a price you cannot argue!
