Vintage Cyma Swiss Manual Gold Plated Cream Dial Breguet Numerals 32mm Watch

About this watch

A charming 1970s-era CYMA dress watch in a gold-plated round case. The cream (ivory) dial carries elegant serif Breguet-style Arabic numerals, the CYMA globe emblem and signature under 12, a framed date window at 3 o'clock and "Swiss Made" at 6. Inside beats a 17-jewel Swiss mechanical hand-wound movement. Two slim gold-tone hands, a domed crystal and a knurled crown complete the clean, classic look. Fitted on a burgundy leather strap with red stitching.

Brand heritage

CYMA traces its roots to 1862, when the Schwob brothers began making watches in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland; the company later became CYMA Watch Co. based in Le Locle. The CYMA name was introduced in the early 20th century and the brand worked closely with the Tavannes Watch Co. CYMA is well known to collectors for its Cymaflex shock-protected movements and as one of the twelve makers of the British Army W.W.W. "Dirty Dozen" watches of the Second World War.
