Offered here today is a collectible timepiece: a vintage NOS (New Old Stock) Glycine Compressor automatic wristwatch, dating from the 1970s.
This self-winding watch is powered by a Swiss automatic movement and features a sweep seconds hand and a date display with quick-set function.
The “Compressor” designation refers to a case construction concept used during the period in which water pressure helps tighten the caseback gasket, improving water resistance as depth increases.
It has the original sunburst black dial accented by applied baton hour markers, a white printed minute/second track, and matching hands. The date display is positioned at the 3 o’clock position.
This example remains in New Old Stock condition, it is housed in a 37mm cushion stainless steel case and it comes with a brand-new black two-piece leather strap.
Fully inspected and authenticated, the watch is running well and is ready to wear and enjoy.

If you’re unsure whether your offer will be accepted, please feel free to message us beforehand — we’re always happy to discuss respectful offers.

Once an offer is accepted, the watch will be removed from the market and no longer available to other buyers.
Vintage watches often run smaller than today’s standards. Men’s wristwatches typically measure between 29–36mm (excluding the crown), while women’s models—especially from the early 1900s to the 1970s—can be considerably smaller. We encourage you to review the measurements provided and reach out with any sizing questions.
Our collection features timepieces that are 20 to 100 years old. Naturally, they may show honest signs of age such as light scratches, patina, or worn straps—features that often add to their unique character and charm. Unless noted as recently serviced, vintage watches may eventually require routine maintenance to keep accurate time. If you’re looking for quartz-level precision, a modern watch may be a better fit.
We offer a mix of brand new and pre-owned watches. Pre-owned pieces might have some cosmetic wear, which we always describe clearly. Take a close look at the photos and don’t hesitate to message us if you have any questions before buying.
We do not use Photoshop to hide imperfections—only to clean up the background. What you see is what you’ll get. We take great care to present our watches honestly and transparently, and we’re proud to stand behind every piece we sell.
We ship worldwide with care and promptness. Domestic orders typically ship within 2–4 business days after payment clears; international shipping times vary by destination. Tracking information will be provided once your package ships.
Returns or exchanges must be arranged in advance, and we must follow our return policy. If you have any questions about shipping, payment, or our terms, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help.
