60s NOS DAMAS 17Rubis Classic Gents Swiss Watch
DAMAS
empressissi™ is pleased to offer a small range of DAMAS new old stock watches we recently acquired, you can view the entire selection here. All these watches were never worn and come with their original red box. These will make an excellent vintage gift or addition to your collection.
The DAMAS was a mid range brand of the BEGUELIN & CIE Swiss manufacturer with most movements marked BTC, active mostly in the 50s and 60s. The brand focused on the Arabic market, in particular Lebanese and Syrian. Possibly DAMAS was chosen to resemble DAMASCUS.
The watch houses a fine Swiss manual wind caliber, running on 17 jewels with sweep seconds. It is cased in a relatively large, elegant gold plated case with stainless back, both in mint condition with original crown and crystal.
The dial is factory original - mint condition and elegant raised gold markers in pearl tone background with an original set of hands.
This timeless Swiss watch measures 36mm side to side (excluding crown) and 43mm from top lug to bottom lug.
Attached to this watch is its original turquoise tone slim genuine leather band with original unsigned buckle in matching tone, 18mm wide.
