Description
Swiss. C. 1970. Recently, in the world of watches, there has been a return to the classics, both in size and design. Men are choosing more modestly sized, 34mm to 38mm vintage watches as they are versatile and show an appreciation for the art and history of horology. The thought process is the same for women who choose these sizes. While the size is to the large side for ladies, it adds an element of contemporary fun and whimsy to the wrist while maintaining a classic look and aesthetic. This brings us to the watch at hand. This 34mm stainless steel Air-King Date is a shining example of the elements that make for a timeless classic. The silver linen dial adds an element of texture and makes this watch a bit of a rarity. The watch was found to be running at the time of cataloguing. It has not been tested for timekeeping accuracy and may require adjustment.
