Vintage 1960s Hema Swiss Manual 17J Incabloc Silver Sunburst Dial 34mm Men Watch

About this watch

A beautifully restrained 1960s Swiss dress watch. The silver sunburst dial radiates from the centre, with applied gold-tone baton markers alternating with Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9, slim gold-tone hands and the signature "17 Rubis Incabloc" and Swiss Made.

The 34mm gold-tone case has long tapered lugs and a stainless-steel back marked Waterproof, Antimagnetic, Incabloc, Swiss Made. Inside is a 17-jewel Swiss manual-winding movement with Incabloc shock protection. It is fitted with a dark brown leather strap.

Brand heritage

HEMA was one of the many smaller Swiss watch brands of the post-war decades, when independent names sourced proven Swiss movements and built honest, well-made dress watches for export markets.

The Incabloc shock-protection system named on the dial was introduced in the 1930s and became a hallmark of quality Swiss mechanical watches of the era.
