Vintage 1970s Ravisa Swiss Mechanical Purple Swirl Lucite Gold Dial 40mm Watch

About this watch

A rare piece of 1970s pop-art design: a chunky 40mm cushion case in translucent purple-and-white marbled acrylic, with the dial module floating in a polished chrome inner bezel. The gold speckled dial is signed "Ravisa" in script and "Swiss Made", with black baton markers and silver hands.

It runs on a Swiss manual-wind mechanical movement and is fitted on a cream alligator-grain leather strap.

Brand heritage

In the late 1960s and 1970s Swiss watch brands embraced bold colours and new materials, and colourful acrylic cases became a signature of the era's pop-art style. Ravisa is a lesser-known Swiss name from this period, and surviving examples of these swirl-acrylic watches in good condition are hard to find today.
