Vintage Felca Airmaster – Rotomatic Automatic 25 Jewels – Day-Date with Arabic/English Day – Silver Quartered Dial – 38mm

A vintage Felca Airmaster automatic. The silver dial is quartered in two subtly different tones and carries applied baton markers, slim baton hands, the red Felca logo and the script "Airmaster" signature. A day-date window at 3 o'clock has a bilingual day wheel in Arabic and English, a detail typical of watches made for Middle Eastern markets. The round steel-tone case measures approximately 38mm. Inside is a Swiss automatic movement signed "Felca Rotomatic 25 Jewels Swiss Made", with ball-bearing rotor. It is fitted with a later black leather strap.

Brand heritage

Felca was founded in 1919 in Grenchen, Switzerland, by Fritz Schluep, and has remained in the hands of the Schluep family ever since. The firm introduced the Titoni name for its Asian markets in the 1950s, and Titoni later became the name of the whole company, which is still an independent Swiss watchmaker today.

Model history

The Airmaster is the longest-running line of the house, sold under both the Felca and Titoni names. It was built around the company's Rotomatic self-winding movements with 25 jewels and became one of the most popular Swiss automatics in Asia and the Middle East, which is why many examples carry bilingual day wheels.
