Definitely a vintage wristwatch, no questions asked! We date this watch to be from the 1940s. The silver dial is marked with the Record swan logo, Record, Automatic, and Swiss. It has Arabic numerals with round hour and minute indices and a sub-second hand.

This wristwatch features a Swiss bumper automatic movement, caliber 171, and 20 jewels.

The stainless steel case measures 33 mm and is marked 1190. It has fancy lugs. The 17 mm genuine leather strap is black with a silver-toned buckle marked Hong Kong.

This vintage timepiece will make a nice addition to the watch-lover's collection.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.

We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.

The condition is pre-owned.

The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
