Vintage Gold-Plated Raymond Weil Mechanical Watch with Blue Leather

Gold-plated Raymond Weil watch with round dial, ornate bezel and small diamond at 12 o'clock. It has a dark blue leather strap. This is a very elegant and dainty watch by one of the most renowned Swiss watchmakers.

Probably made in the 1970s.

Swiss-made mechanical (hand-winding) movement*

Width: 2,1cm

Very good cosmetic condition, despite some minor signs of wear. The leather strap has been replaced and is new. The glass is scratch-free. Please see the pictures.

Easy and smooth winding and setting of the time. The watch has not been serviced, but it has been monitored and kept good time over the course of a day.

Enjoy your shopping!

* As their name indicates, manual winding watches draw their energy from daily manual winding and are not battery operated. Wearing a hand-wound watch means appreciating rituals. They form their very own relationship with the person wearing them, which simply cannot be replaced by the electronic distance of a quartz movement. Mechanical watches have their own rules and the sound of a perfectly functioning movement has its own harmony. In addition, by avoiding the use of batteries, you can protect the environment and, with appropriate maintenance, often rely on a mechanical watch for decades.

Disclaimer: Unless stated otherwise, all the mechanical watches I sell are working and keeping good time over a few hours. However, most of them are at least 50 years of age. Guarantees cannot be given regarding reliability, accuracy and/or waterproofing. Please keep in mind that mechanical watches never were as accurate or reliable as battery operated quartz watches. I recommend you shop from my Quartz section if you are looking for a hassle-free watch to wear every day, and from the Mechanical section if you are mostly looking for a collectible vintage item. Contact me for more detailed information about specific items or in case of doubt about size, functions, etc. I do not accept returns or refunds, even though I will do my best to accommodate customer needs and keep everyone satisfied.
