This Swiss gold plated Velona watch dates from the late 1960s, and is a perfect example of the typical style of that period. The watch is entirely original and looks fine, despite having quite a bit of patina. The movement is the very sound Ebauche calibre Kasper 1451, which has a date complication, with the date aperture at the 3 o'clock position. The movement has many jewels in the bearings (rubies) which prevent friction and wear very well. Which means the movement runs well. The watch has a champagne-coloured dial, with a radial brushed finish (sunburst), which gives it a beautiful depth effect. The large, applied stylistic gold markers are facet cut, and in combination with the black stripes, they give the watch a striking appearance. The baton-shaped hands are very slim, and feature a black line as well. Case measurements: Case diameter: 33.7 mm (without crown) Case thickness: 11 mm The strap is made of brown leather, with sportive padding. The total length of the strap, including the watch, is approx. 24 cm. Shipped with track and trace, by PostNL. Netherlands: €6.95 EU, registered: €14.65 International, registered: €29.95
