This vintage Origo mens watch with a 7 Jewel Swiss automatic movement, serviced and in working order.
The back of this watch is clear acrylic and allows the mechanism to be seen. In addition the dial is sized in such a way that the hour markers also sit on a clear acrylic mount allowing light to pass through the entire face by the hour markers. It is quite unusual in this respect and gives quite a retro feel.
The mechanism is a basic 7 jewelled swiss movement
Anthony here in the workshop has a special hobby of taking vintage watches
apart, cleaning them, re-oiling the parts, replacing any broken parts and
putting a new strap (original strap is included if we still have it).
Restored to its original condition with lasting quality, it is sure to be
an eye-catching piece.

Known defects:
As with all vintage watches, there will be signs of genuine wear and use. These
really enhance the beauty of these watches as they are evidence of a history.
Every blemish, every scratch is a nod to its past.
On this watch, we have noticed that the case has some marks and scratches
The crystal (acrylic face and back) have a few of very blemishes that could not be eliminated. The dial, although in good condition for its age does have some signs of age and marks but this adds to its authenticity and appeal.
