Description
In over 30 years of handling vintage watches, I’ve never seen another one of these! This is a vintage Civitas stainless steel watch in a very hefty and heavy stainless steel case measuring 38×40.5mm and quite thick at almost 12mm. This chunky case is very uncommon. Notice the beveled-edge sides. I am saying this is a military era watch due to the 15-jewel movement and original military style black dial with radium numerals, original pencil hands, and sub-seconds. This watch is keeping accurate time. Notice the hefty screw-back case and flat removable bezel, which was very uncommon for the era. This watch must have been stored for decades, as the crystal has acquired a light-yellow tint. The large sub-seconds register is easy to read.
