Vintage Wyler Vetta Starfighter Automatic – Swiss Made

An elegant and increasingly collectible vintage Wyler Vetta Starfighter automatic featuring the renowned Incaflex shock protection system and a beautifully preserved silver sunburst dial with applied rose gold baton hour markers.

Powered by a 25-jewel Swiss automatic movement, this example features a distinctive front-loading case design, a date display, and a classic mid-century aesthetic that wears beautifully today. The warm rose gold-tone case pairs perfectly with the new navy blue aftermarket strap, giving the watch a refined vintage appearance.

Condition

The watch is running and holding time during short testing.

The automatic movement winds smoothly via the rotor, and the date changes cleanly at midnight. This example does not appear to feature a quick-set date function, which is typical of many Swiss automatic watches from the period.

The dial is in very attractive original condition with only light signs of age. The gold-tone case is in excellent condition and only shows light wear consistent with its vintage character while retaining crisp lines. The acrylic crystal presents well with only light marks.

Please refer to the photographs as they form part of the description and condition.

As with all vintage watches, servicing is recommended for refined time keeping and longevity.
