Vintage Men's Wristwatch Stainless Steel Mens Wrist Watch Orta Swiss Movement

This week at sale this CUSTOMIZED WATCH which features CHROMED brass DIAL with TURQUOISE COLOUR, new made STAINLESS STEEL CASE and original pocket watch movement with BLUE STEEL SCREWS, STRAIGHT LINE DAMASKEENING & BI-METALLIC MICROMETER REGULATOR. 

ORTA – wordmark of La Generale Watch Co./Montres Helvetia/General Watch Co. SA manufacturer pocket watches, small watches from Biel, Reconvilier and Tramelan, Switzerland; Vienna, Austria; founded in 1880; registered on December 23, 1911. 

The new CHROMED brass dial has been professionally updated and now is in excellent condition. It is complete a 60-minute outer track border, silver Arabic numerals on TURQUOISE background, black steel Breguet-style hands and a recessed sub-seconds dial with 60 second outer chapter and “sweep” black steel seconds hand. There is signed WANDOLEC ART STUDIO below the 12. 

It is a registered design model that features a three piece STAINLESS STEEL CASE that provides with glass cover of back lid. This watch was converted from pocket watch. The case, new custom made, fantastic, build specially for this excellent movement. The lugs are in great condition while the Onion-style winding crown is in very good shape and operates properly. The case has MINERAL glasses on the front and back side. Also is signed WANDOLEC ART STUDIO in TURQUOISE letters on the lateral bezel. 

Peeking inside via the glass lid, I find a spotless, a finely and high grade nickel finished movement with BLUE STEEL SCREWS, STRAIGHT LINE DAMASKEENING & BI-METALLIC MICROMETER REGULATOR. The movement is signed SWISS MADE – 15 JEWELS, but maker is not marked but I hope another collector can identify the maker within the General Watch Co. as it is clearly higher grade. 

This beautiful wristwatch has the ORIGINAL movement in an excellent status which was very well saved, considering age of this watch. Some of the wearable parts on the movement might be replaced, and custom made to fit, since it is close to impossible to find original parts. Mechanism has been recently serviced to ensure it winds and sets smoothly while keeping great, accurate time. 

It is fitted on a new 22mm black alligator style genuine leather strap with chromed steel buckle that is vintage style and goes great with this wonderful watch.
