Vintage 1980s Aurora Swiss Automatic 25J Open Heart Two-Tone Roman 38mm Watch

About this watch

An Aurora dress automatic with an open-heart dial. The white dial has black Roman numerals, gold-tone hands and an aperture at 9 o'clock that shows the balance wheel at work, framed by a gold-tone coin-edge bezel. The dial is signed "Aurora Automatic 25 Jewels".

The two-tone case measures approximately 38mm and has an exhibition caseback through which the automatic movement can be seen; the rotor is marked "Twenty-Five 25 Jewels Swiss Made". It comes on a two-tone steel and gold-plated bracelet, 17mm wide.

Brand heritage

Aurora is a name that has been used on watch dials by more than one maker over the years. This watch is signed Aurora on the dial and Swiss Made on the movement; no further maker's details are claimed for it. Open-heart watches cut a window into the dial to reveal the balance wheel, and combined with a glass caseback they let the wearer watch the mechanism from both sides.

Why this one is special

• Open-heart dial showing the beating balance
• Exhibition caseback with signed 25-jewel Swiss automatic
• Classic white Roman dial with coin-edge bezel
• Two-tone bracelet for a dressy look
