Vintage 1930s Genie Swiss Watch Two Tone Sector Dial Small Seconds Manual 34mm

About this watch

A characterful Art Deco era watch signed Genie, with the brand name in both Latin and Arabic script and a red emblem beneath 12. The two-tone sector dial has Arabic numerals, a sub-seconds register at 6 o'clock and copper-tone hands, and has aged heavily into a strong, unrestored patina.

The 34mm case has distinctive flared teardrop lugs and a snap back marked Swiss Made, and houses a Swiss mechanical manual-wind movement. Fitted with a brown leather strap.
