RARE Art Deco 1940s-1950s Mechanical Watch for Men

Let us introduce you to one of the oldest timepieces in our mechanical watch collection: this beautiful Art Deco wristwatch that dates back to the 1940s-1950s.

The watch comes with a unique patina, which speaks of its long time-keeping journey. The blue steeled hands of the watch add a special touch to its design, as well as the classic black leather strap. Preserved in very good condition, this military wristwatch for men is now ready for a second chance!

About mechanical watches

A mechanical watch is a watch that uses a clockwork mechanism to measure the passage of time, as opposed to quartz watches which function electronically via a small battery.

A mechanical watch is driven by a mainspring, which must be hand-wound periodically. Its force is transmitted through a series of gears to power balance a weighted wheel that oscillates back and forth at a constant rate. A device called an escapement releases the watch's wheels to move forward a small amount with each swing of the balance wheel, moving the watch's hands forward at a constant rate.

Mechanical watches are classic vintage pieces, beautiful displays of minimalism and old-school features. Some of the most elegant mechanical watches, for true vintage enthusiasts, are now available in our vintage mechanical watch collection.
