Vintage Elysee Paris Oman Khanjar Crest Swiss Quartz Gold Plated 32mm Watch

About this watch

A 1980s Elysee Paris dress watch with an Omani crest at 6 o'clock: a crowned laurel wreath enclosing figures and the Khanjar, the curved dagger and crossed swords of Oman's national emblem, printed in gold. The dark segmented sunburst dial catches the light in bold radial reflections, with slim gold baton markers and hands, and "Swiss Made" at the bottom.

The slim round case is 18kt gold electroplated and measures approximately 32mm, with ribbed hood lugs, a scratchproof sapphire crystal and a snap caseback marked "Elysee", "18kt Gold Electroplated", "3 ATM Waterproof", 57922 and "Swiss Made". It comes on a black leather strap, 17mm wide.

Brand heritage

Elysee was founded in 1920 by the watchmaker Jacques Beaufort in the Swiss Jura. After a pause following his death in 1938, the brand was revived in 1960 in Pforzheim, Germany, and since 1991 has been owned by the Seume family in Düsseldorf, known for classically styled dress watches. Watches bearing Omani crests were commissioned from European makers during the reign of Sultan Qaboos as presentation pieces and are widely collected today.
