Vintage 60s Technos Pioneer Swiss Automatic Date 34mm Patina Dial Mens Watch

About this watch

A 1960s Swiss automatic from Technos. The champagne dial is signed "Technos Automatic" with the brand's logo and "Pioneer", with applied baton markers, baton hands and a date window at 3 o'clock. Age has given the dial a strong, characterful patina.

The round stainless-steel case measures approximately 34mm and 10mm thick, with a screw-down caseback carrying the Technos "Worldwide" emblem. It is fitted with a brown suede-style leather strap.

Brand heritage

Technos goes back to 1900, when Melchior Gunzinger founded a watch factory in Welschenrohr, in the Swiss canton of Solothurn. His son Joseph Gunzinger registered the Technos trademark in 1924 and built it into an export brand; by 1970 the company employed around 450 people and sold watches worldwide, especially in Japan and Brazil.
