Its finely brushed radial finish creates subtle changes in appearance depending on the lighting, complemented by applied gold-tone hour markers and slender matching hands. The dial bears the inscriptions "GRASSY – 17 RUBIS" and "INCABLOC", highlighting its traditional Swiss mechanical construction. The absence of a date window and seconds subdial provides an exceptionally clean, symmetrical appearance, characteristic of elegant dress watches from the 1960s. The slim gold-tone case, narrow bezel and elongated lugs complete its classic vintage aesthetic. With a case diameter of 33.8 mm excluding the crown and 35.0 mm including the crown, the watch offers the refined proportions typical of mid-century Swiss dress watches. --- MOVEMENT The watch houses a traditional Swiss mechanical hand-wound movement with 17 jewels and Incabloc shock protection. The Incabloc system was developed to protect the delicate balance staff against shocks and remains one of the most recognised features of traditional Swiss mechanical watchmaking. The movement features a warm copper-toned finish and a classic bridge arrangement, visible in the accompanying photographs. As a manual-winding watch, it is powered by periodically winding the crown rather than by a battery. The movement and its construction can be examined in the detailed photographs provided. --- STRAP & SPECIAL ADJUSTABLE SWISS CLASP The watch is fitted with a dark navy-blue genuine calf leather strap, marked "VEAU VERITABLE", with attractive contrasting blue stitching. One particularly interesting feature is its distinctive gold-tone Swiss folding clasp, which incorporates an adjustable locking mechanism. Unlike conventional pin-buckle straps, this clasp allows the length to be adjusted without using traditional buckle holes. How the adjustable clasp works: * The folding clasp incorporates a small protruding metal locking tab on the inner metal section, engraved "ACIER INOX / BOUCLE SWISS". * To adjust the strap, release the small metal tab, allowing the leather strap to slide freely through the clasp. * Slide the strap until the desired length is reached. * Press the small metal tab inward to clamp and securely grip the leather strap in the selected position. * Once adjusted and locked, the folding clasp can be opened and closed for everyday use without needing to readjust the strap. This practical mechanism combines the convenience of a folding clasp with the flexibility of an adjustable leather strap, offering a comfortable and personalised fit. The gold-tone clasp also complements the watch case beautifully, preserving its elegant vintage appearance. --- CONDITION Overall condition: Very good vintage condition, considering its age. * Dial: Attractive silver sunburst finish, retaining its original vintage character, with minor age-related marks and light surface imperfections. * Case: Gold-tone finish showing signs of age and use, including scratches and some wear to the plating, particularly around the edges and lugs. * Crystal: Transparent acrylic crystal with minor surface marks. * Hands and markers: Gold-tone finish consistent with the overall vintage appearance. * Case back: Stainless steel, showing normal scratches and handling marks. * Movement: Clean visual presentation, as shown in the detailed photographs. * Strap: Dark navy-blue genuine leather strap in good condition. * Clasp: Distinctive adjustable folding clasp with a sliding and locking mechanism.
