Description:
Rare Vintage Leijona Mechanical Watch – 1970s Swiss Made – Fully Serviced
Up for sale is a beautiful vintage Leijona timepiece from the 1970s. Leijona is a historic Swiss-Finnish brand known for its reliability and classic designs. This particular model features a stunning deep blue textured dial that catches the light perfectly.
Key Highlights:
- Condition: The watch is in fully serviced condition. The movement has been cleaned, oiled, and adjusted by a professional watchmaker. It keeps time accurately.
- Authenticity: 100% original parts. The acrylic crystal (glass) is unpolished, preserving its vintage character (can be easily polished if desired).
- Movement: Reliable Swiss manual-wind movement with 17 jewels and Incabloc shock protection.
- Design: Iconic "cushion" case shape typical of the 70s era. The dial features applied silver-tone markers and a date window at 3 o'clock.
- Markings: "T SWISS MADE T" on the dial, signifying the original tritium lume. The case back features the "P" (Prätina) logo, which was common for shared Swiss production in that period.
Physical Condition:
The case shows honest signs of wear (some brassing on the edges and scratches), which adds to its vintage appeal. Please study the high-resolution photos carefully as they form part of the description.
Shipping:
International shipping available. The watch will be packed securely to ensure safe delivery.
Feel free to ask any questions before bidding!
COLLECTOR’S CONDITION & MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE:
This timepiece is part of a long-term private collection. It was previously professionally serviced by a master watchmaker, but has remained in storage for a significant period without regular use.
Pre-shipment Check: Before packing, I personally verify that the movement starts easily, runs steadily, and that the time-setting functions work correctly.
Accuracy Disclaimer (Please Read):
As with all vintage mechanical watches kept in long-term storage, the original lubricants may have aged or thickened over time. Therefore, I do not guarantee modern chronometer-level accuracy.
The watch is sold in "Running" condition, but it may run slightly fast or slow (within or slightly outside vintage tolerances). Precision can also be affected by the vibrations and temperature changes during international transit. A routine professional adjustment or "oil refresh" by your local watchmaker may be required to achieve your desired timekeeping standards.
Sold "As-Is" regarding daily precision. By purchasing, you acknowledge that vintage mechanical movements are sensitive instruments that may require fine-tuning upon arrival.
Authentic vintage. Serviced in the past, long-term storage. Runs and sets correctly. Accuracy not guaranteed due to age and storage; may need minor regulation.
