Vintage Cyma Tavannes R.474.2 Manual Wind 17J 33mm White Roman Dial Swiss Watch

Vintage Cyma Swiss Manual Wind Dress Watch – Cal. R.474.2, 17 Jewels, 33 mm Steel Case, White Roman Dial

A refined vintage Cyma dress watch with a compact 33 mm case and an understated white Roman numeral dial. The elongated black numerals and slender silver-tone hands give the watch a balanced, elegant appearance, and a textured navy-blue leather strap adds a distinctive touch of colour.

Brand heritage

Cyma was founded in 1862 in Le Locle, Switzerland, by the brothers Joseph and Théodore Schwob, and in the 1890s joined forces with Henri Sandoz of the Tavannes Watch Co. The partnership grew into one of the largest watch manufacturers in Switzerland, known for precise in-house movements, and supplied the celebrated Cyma W.W.W. military watch to the British Army in the 1940s.

Model history

Inside is the Cyma calibre R.474.2, a slim 17-jewel manual-winding movement that carries both Cyma and Tavannes signatures. The inside of the case back bears the Cyma Watch Co. stamp and a "Stainless Steel" marking. With its two-hand layout, no date and thin 7 mm profile, this is a classic Swiss dress watch of the 1960s.
