Vintage Ginalux Swiss Manual Wind 17J 38mm Textured Wave Dial Date Mens Watch

About this watch

A standout dial: white with a sculpted vertical wave texture, gold-tone applied baton markers, the Ginalux sun emblem, a red seconds-hand tip and a date window at 3 o'clock, signed 17 Jewels Shockproof and Swiss Movt.

The polished stainless-steel cushion case measures about 38mm, with a screw-down back bearing the Ginalux sun logo, on a dark leather strap. The movement winds smoothly and the date works.

Brand heritage

Ginalux was a small 1970s watch label. Like many small independent labels of the post-war decades, it built its watches around movements supplied by specialist Swiss makers and sold them mainly through export distributors. Little documented history of the brand survives today, and most such names disappeared during the quartz crisis of the 1970s and 1980s, which makes surviving examples an honest, affordable corner of vintage collecting. The dial's "Swiss Movt" marking means the movement itself is Swiss.
