Offered here today is an interesting and collectible timepiece: a vintage NOS (New Old Stock) Glycine Vacuum High Frequency automatic wristwatch, reference 314.111, dating from the 1970s.
This self-winding watch is powered by a Swiss automatic movement and features a sweep seconds hand and a day/date display with quick-set function.
The "Vacuum" designation used by Glycine referred to the specially engineered case construction designed to provide enhanced protection against air, dust, and moisture. The system was marketed as offering improved sealing and durability for the movement.
The original silver-tone dial is accented by applied baton hour markers, a printed minute/second track on the blue inner bezel, and matching hands with luminous inserts. The day (in Spanish) and date display is positioned at the 3 o’clock position.
It is housed in a striking 38x42mm cushion-shaped stainless steel case. According to period Glycine advertising, the case construction emphasized resistance to water, air, and shocks.
This example remains in New Old Stock condition and is fitted with a stainless steel Glycine bracelet.
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.

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.
