Vintage 1960s Vialux Super 17J Manual Wind 36mm Pink Gradient Dial Date Watch

About this watch

A characterful watch whose dial has aged into an unusual pink-to-bronze gradient. It carries luminous-filled applied markers, a sunrise emblem, "17 Jewels Super-Shock" and a date window at 3 o'clock, signed Vialux Super.

The 36mm case has a fluted coin-edge bezel and textured flanks, with a stainless-steel screw-down back marked Antimagnetic. It is worn on a brown leather strap.

Brand heritage

Vialux was a small Swiss-movement watch label of the mid-20th century. 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.

Why this one is special

• Unique faded pink-to-bronze gradient dial
