Reference Number: N/A
Manufactured Date: 1960
This vintage 1960s Waltham wristwatch combines classic mid-century styling with the mechanical craftsmanship of its era. Its silver sunburst dial features applied gold-tone hour markers, elegant dauphine hands, a framed date window at 3 o'clock, and Waltham's distinctive red emblem. A matching red arrowhead seconds hand adds a subtle splash of color to the otherwise understated design. Housed in a gold-tone cushion-style case with a stainless steel back and paired with a brown leather strap, this 17-jewel mechanical timepiece captures the refined, everyday elegance of 1960s watchmaking.
