This is a striking 1960s-era Waltham dress watch with a genuinely rare feature for the period: a deep blue dial that has survived in excellent condition. Blue dials were far less common than silver or champagne in mid-century everyday watches, and this one delivers a rich, even tone with a subtle sunburst effect that makes the applied baguette-style markers and small-seconds register pop. The watch has been fully serviced and regulated and is running well, making it a very wearable vintage piece despite honest case wear.

Sporting the signature red pointer second hand, a calendar display, and a dial with some really interesting and cool numerals at the 6, 9 and 12 o’clock positions, this attractive Waltham makes a great vintage watch statement. It is powered by a relatively rare R614 manual wind movement. Both the case and movement were made in Japan.

Combining Waltham’s signature red pointer sweep second hand with a very cool “sun ray” dial pattern this is a really sharp looking 1960s Waltham. The 21 jewel UTC 233 movement was designed and manufactured by Seiko, and has innovative design elements that exist in Seiko movements to this day, including the highly efficient Seiko Magic Lever automatic winding mechanism

A sneek peak at new watches that I have aquired that are awaiting restoration, and which will eventually be listed for sale once restored.

Replete with signature red pointer sweep second hand, and with a very clean dial, this is an excellent example of a late 1960s Waltham. The UTC 33 movement was designed and manufactured by Seiko, and has innovative design elements that exist in Seiko movements to this day, including the highly efficient Seiko Magic Lever automatic winding mechanism.

Capturing a 1960’s space age esthetic, with a funky concentric pattern dial, mirrored indices, and red pointer on the second hand, this Waltham is something a bit out of the ordinary. This theme continues inside the polished stainless steel case, wherein resides a French-made Lorsa P72 movement with 23 jewels - a huge amount for a relatively simple hand winding movement.
