A Nice Vintage Waltham Watch Company Manual Calendar on a Tan Pin Buckle Strap, c.1970

The Waltham Watch Company began its operations at the site in 1854 and, through innovation, introduced a system of interchangeable parts. The Company developed machinery that could make watch parts so precisely that they were interchangeable with one another.

What’s On Offer 

A great everyday watch here from Waltham. The dial is in nice shape, rich black with applied baton hour markers that house luminous inserts which correspond with the lume in the hands. There is a punch of red on the arrowhead tip of the seconds hand and a date aperture at 3 o'clock. The stainless steel tonneau case is meaty and is faceted to give an octagonal shape which is a nice point of interest and makes for a substantial watch on the wrist with a nice bit of retro styling. It is in nice condition with a little wear to the caseback but nothing of concern. An affordable first piece for a budding collector perhaps?
