Vintage Classic Swiss Quartz Watch Asian Handball Federation Burgundy Dial 30mm

About this watch

A rare commemorative dress watch by Classic, Swiss Made, with the round emblem of the Asian Handball Federation printed on the dial. The deep burgundy dial is kept clean and marker-free, decorated only by an arc of 13 set clear stones along the right side, the gold Classic logo and slim gold hands. The slim round gold-tone case is joined to the strap by fluted gold hoods at 12 and 6, a design typical of elegant 1980s-1990s Swiss dress watches. It still carries its original Classic swing tag.

Brand heritage

The dial and the screw-down caseback are both signed Classic and Swiss Made. The Asian Handball Federation, founded in 1974 and based in Kuwait, is the governing body of handball in Asia. Watches with official sports federation emblems were made in small numbers as presentation and commemorative pieces, and few come up for sale.
