We believe that this watch was never worn! It is in lovely condition!

This stunning timepiece (almost like new) is a vintage Gruen precision wristwatch, "The Precision Watch" dated from the 1960's. It is a manual wind watch with a Gruen movement caliber 512 CD, 17 jewels, manual wind, sweep second, day/date indicator, Swiss made.

It has a stunning 36mm big round case and lugs design, base metal bezel and stainless steel back. The crystal looks like in new condition.

After 60 years, it still has the beautiful and original two-tone dial with gold hour marks and matching hands, white minute marks as well. The dial is signed with the "GRUEN PRECISION 17 JEWELS", also "Swiss Made". The day/date indicator is located at 3.

This watch is coming with what we believe is the original, Kreisler flex bracelet in 10K gold filled top. Also, the watch is coming in the original display box and tag.

We always make sure about what we are offering, so it is necessary to open every single watch that we have in our shop. Saying that, this watch, we believe was never worn; it was super difficult to open the case back, we had to use a clamp and a three prong case tool to be able to open the watch. In the process the watch suffeed some scratches on the case back when the wrench slipped under a high load. Before that, the watch was in PERFECT condition. We prefer to be honest and say that the scratches in the back are from us, the good thing is, now you are able to see what is inside of this beauty, and can rest assured it is running well and keeping accurate time.

Thank you for looking! Please feel free to contact us with any questions, or respectful offers.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men's watches typically measure between 29-36mm (some larger, some smaller) wide excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women's watches from the 1900s-1970s were also somewhat smaller than today’s offerings in many cases. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.

We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust light, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.

The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended.
See all the photos, feel free to ask questions if you have any.

It will be carefully packed.
