A Beautiful Gruen Airflight with a Stunning Silver Sunburst 24 hour Dial and Warm Gold Plated Case - New Old Stock Conditiion, c.1960s

Gruen is a historic Swiss-American watch brand founded in the late 19th century by Dietrich Gruen. Best known for combining Swiss movements with American design and marketing, Gruen became hugely popular in the early-to-mid 20th century. The brand earned acclaim for elegant dress watches, Art Deco designs, and technical innovations such as the Curvex, one of the first curved wristwatch movements. Gruen watches remain prized today for their period styling, quality engineering, and accessible entry into vintage collecting.

What's on Offer

A wonderfully distinctive Gruen Precision Airflight from the 1960s, this gold-plated example is presented in exceptional, near-NOS condition and offers real mid-century charm.

The standout feature is its striking 24-hour dial with cut-out apertures, revealing the inner hour track and giving the watch a unique, almost architectural look that perfectly reflects the jet-age optimism of the era.

Powered by the manual-wind Gruen calibre N510SS, this piece remains a joy to wear, with crisp dial furniture, elegant hands and a warm vintage glow to the case. An increasingly hard-to-find model that blends quirky design with everyday wearability, ideal for collectors seeking something genuinely different.
