Vintage Envoy De Luxe 17 Jewels Mechanical Wristwatch
This is a vintage mid-20th century (likely 1950s-1960s) Envoy De Luxe mechanical wristwatch featuring a manual wind movement. The watch presents a circular gold-toned base metal case with significant brassing and wear to the plating, particularly visible on the lugs and bezel. The dial features a complex two-tone textured design with a guilloche-style honeycomb pattern in the center and a brushed outer track. It includes applied gold-toned Arabic numerals at the even intervals and dagger-style hour markers at the odd intervals. The hands are tapered dauphine style, showing signs of oxidation and surface aging. The dial is marked 'ENVOY DE LUXE', '17 JEWELS', 'SHOCKPROTECTED', and 'SWISS' at the bottom. The watch is fitted with an aftermarket gold-toned stainless steel expansion-style stretch band characterized by a cross-hatched textured pattern on the links. Condition-wise, the timepiece shows heavy signs of use, including scratches on the acrylic crystal, substantial loss of gold plating on the case exposing the base metal underneath, and significant dirt accumulation around the crown and lugs. The dial exhibits some light spotting and patina consistent with age. It represents a typical mid-market Swiss production of the post-war era.
