As a dedicated collector and enthusiast of German timepieces, I am pleased to offer this beautiful Stowa from the 1960s. Founded in 1927 by Walter Storz, Stowa is legendary for its precision and for being one of the five original manufacturers of the WWII "B-Uhr" pilot watches. This specific model represents the elegant post-war era of the company, focusing on slim, reliable dress watches.
I have personally inspected and tested this timepiece to ensure it meets collector standards:
The Dial: The standout feature is the silver-metallic sunburst (radiant brushed) dial. It features applied gold-tone indices and the classic Stowa logo with the "ST" crown emblem. Note the "17 RUBIS ANTICHOC" text. There is an honest, light patina that adds true vintage character without compromising legibility.
The Case: At 33 mm wide and a very slim 8 mm thickness, it sits perfectly as a refined dress watch. The gold plating shows wear consistent with a watch that was cherished and worn daily for decades. I prefer this "honest" look over a polished case as it preserves the watch's history.
Movement: I have included a photo of the movement for your review. It houses a clean 17-jewel manual wind caliber. It winds smoothly, beats strongly, and is ready for immediate use.
Details: The acrylic crystal is scratch-free, and it comes on a new 18 mm black alligator-grain faux leather strap. The stainless steel caseback is clearly marked "Waterprotected - Stainless Steel Back - Shockproof".
