Vintage Jovial Swiss Automatic, 25 Jewels, Green Gradient Dial, Day-Date, 40mm Steel Cushion Case, 1970s, with Box

Brand heritage

Jovial is a Swiss watch brand that traces its history to 1929. It became a familiar name in the Middle East and North Africa, first for Swiss mechanical watches and, after its relaunch under new ownership in 1988, for quartz dress watches. Its 1970s automatics are much less common today than its later models.

Model history

Oversized cushion and tonneau cases with strongly coloured dials were a hallmark of Swiss design in the 1970s, and Jovial followed the trend with automatic day-date models like this one. At about 40mm it is large for a vintage watch and wears comfortably by modern standards.
