Vintage 1970s Sandoz Automatic 25 Jewels Incabloc Swiss Mens Watch Cushion 37mm

About this watch

A 1970s Sandoz Swiss automatic with classic cushion-case styling. The silver dial is signed "Sandoz Automatic" and "25 Jewels Incabloc", with applied square-tipped baton markers, silver-tone hands and a date window at 3 o'clock, and shows an even vintage patina.

The polished stainless steel cushion case measures approx. 37mm excluding the crown and 12mm thick, with an acrylic crystal and screw-down caseback. Inside is a 25-jewel Swiss automatic movement, shown in the photos. It is fitted to a replacement brown leather strap, 19mm wide.

Brand heritage

The Sandoz name has deep roots in Swiss watchmaking: the Sandoz family is recorded in Le Locle from the 16th century, and Henry Sandoz established himself as a watchmaker in 1895, specialising in thin watches, repeaters and chronographs. The firm began making wristwatches in 1914, moved to Peseux in 1919 and became Henry Sandoz & Fils in 1920. In the 1960s and 1970s Sandoz was widely known for good-value Swiss automatic watches, many of them with 25-jewel movements.
