Vintage Candino Swiss Automatic Saudi Emblem Dial Gold Plated Tank 28mm Watch

About this watch

A collectible Gulf presentation watch from Candino. The champagne dial shows the Saudi Arabian national emblem, a palm tree above two crossed swords, set over a crescent, together with stone-set markers at 12, 9 and 6 o'clock, a dotted outer track, gold-tone hands and a date window at 3 o'clock.

The gold-plated rectangular tank case measures about 28mm and has a steel snap back with the Candino logo. It houses a Swiss automatic movement, is fitted on a brown leather strap and comes with a Candino presentation box.

Brand heritage

Candino traces its origins to 1947, when watchmaker Adolf Flury-Hug opened a workshop in Herbetswil, near Solothurn, Switzerland. The brand grew steadily, selling Swiss-made watches at accessible prices, and joined the Festina Group in 2002. Candino watches are still produced in Herbetswil.
