Vintage 1970s Nino Automatic 17J Green Dial Octagonal Steel Watch Swiss 35mm

About this watch

A striking piece of 1970s geometric design. The two-tone olive green dial has a circuit-like pattern, crossed by a brushed silver horizontal band carrying the NINO logo and a date window at 3 o'clock. Chunky gold-tone block markers and open-worked gold-tone hands complete the look; the dial is signed "Automatic 17 Jewels" and "Swiss Made".

The 35mm stainless steel case is octagonal, with brushed top surfaces and polished chamfers, and flows into a 3-link stainless steel bracelet. Inside is a 17-jewel Swiss automatic movement with date.

Brand heritage

Nino was one of the smaller Swiss brands of the 1970s, a decade when Swiss makers experimented freely with shapes and colours before quartz reshaped the industry. Watches like this one, with sculpted cases and patterned dials around Swiss automatic movements, are now sought after for their authentic retro-futuristic style.
