NOS Vintage Josmar 17 Jewels Swiss Made Watch Head (No Strap)

A True Mid-Century Swiss Time Capsule.

Finding vintage mechanical watches in good condition is always a treat, but finding one in "New Old Stock" (NOS) condition is becoming incredibly rare. This beautiful Josmar 17 Jewels wristwatch comes directly from the leftover inventory of a retired watch seller. It was stored in its original bulk case for decades and is the very last one available. It has never seen a wrist.

Ready for Your Custom Strap: The watch features a stunning sunburst silver dial with applied silver-tone indices and classic mid-century styling. The dial proudly declares its pedigree: 17 Jewels, Waterresistant, Antimagnetic, Unbreakable Mainspring, and Swiss Made. We are offering this as a "Watch Head Only." It is a fantastic opportunity to take a pristine, unworn vintage Swiss movement and pair it with a brand new leather or nylon strap of your choosing.

📸 What the Photos Show

  • The pristine, unworn silver sunburst dial and clean crystal.
  • The classic silver-tone case geometry and crown.
  • The "Swiss Made" designation at the bottom of the dial.
  • Condition Note: The stainless steel case back (Model 521/5425) showing the faint, superficial storage marks from sitting in a bulk box with other watches.

Condition Report

New Old Stock (NOS). Tested & Keeping Time.

  • Mechanics: Tested. The manual-wind movement winds smoothly, runs fine, and is currently keeping time. *(Note: As with all vintage mechanical watches, long-term accuracy is not guaranteed and routine servicing is always recommended for daily wear).*
  • Cosmetics: The dial, hands, and crystal are in brilliant, unworn condition.
  • Storage Wear: Because this watch was stored in a bulk dealer tray without a strap for decades, the stainless steel case back shows very faint, superficial micro-scratches/swirls from rubbing against the tray and other watches.
