Vintage Josmar Swiss-made men’s mechanical wristwatch, dating from approximately the 1970s.

The watch has a champagne/silver sunburst dial with applied Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9, baton hour markers and a central seconds hand. The dial is signed “Josmar – 17 Jewels – Unbreakable Mainspring – Swiss Made.”

It is powered by a Swiss Ronda calibre 1213, 17-jewel manual-wind movement.

The watch winds and is currently running, as demonstrated in the accompanying video. It has not been tested over an extended period for accuracy or power reserve, and there is no known service history.

CONDITION

The watch is in used vintage condition with considerable age-related wear.

The acrylic crystal has several prominent cracks, together with scratches and surface marks, and would benefit from replacement. The dial has spotting, marks and general ageing, although the lettering and applied hour markers remain clear.

The case has scratches, pitting, plating loss and some green oxidation around the back and lugs. The gold-tone crown does not match the case and is believed to be a later replacement. The metal bracelet and clasp show scratches, tarnishing and general wear.

Please study all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description.

Although the case back is marked “Waterresistant,” no water resistance is claimed or guaranteed. Sold as a vintage watch with no guarantee of continued accuracy or reliability and no returns.
