Vintage 1950s-1960s Waltham Square Dress Watch – 17 Jewel Swiss Movement, Serviced, Speidel Band!
Classic mid-century elegance in a distinctive square case Waltham! This sharp vintage men’s (or unisex petite) dress watch dates to the late 1950s to mid-1960s and features a stylish black textured dial with bold gold-tone applied markers and dauphine-style hands. The crisp “WALTHAM” script logo sits proudly at the top, with “SWISS” marked below 6 o’clock—hallmarks of the high-quality Swiss movements Waltham used during this transitional era.
Measuring approximately 25.7 mm across the case (as shown in photos), it has a refined, wearable size perfect for daily dress or collection display. The original-style 10k RGP Speidel expansion bracelet adds authentic period charm—comfortable, two-tone gold tones, and a true mid-century touch that collectors love.
Movement & Service: This watch houses a reliable 17-jewel Swiss manual-wind mechanical movement. It has just been professionally serviced—cleaned, oiled, regulated, and tested for excellent timekeeping. Ready to wear and enjoy right out of the box!
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with honest signs of age that add character. The gold-filled/RGP case shows typical plating wear on the edges and high points (common and expected on these pieces), minor surface scratches on the crystal and dial consistent with its 60+ year history. The dial remains striking with its textured finish, and the hands and markers are intact. A wonderful example of American branding with Swiss precision—far more character than modern quartz watches!
These square-case Walthams are increasingly sought after for their retro Art Deco/modernist look and solid mechanical quality. Whether you’re building a collection, looking for a unique daily wearer, or searching for that perfect gift for a vintage watch lover, this one delivers timeless style and dependable performance.
