This Roamer is an inexpensive way to buy a nicely working watch from this period without blowing the budget.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

Roamer watches can not be dated with 100% accuracy, but the 300 series movements as found in this watch were made from the late thirties to the late forties.  The earliest were the 351 calibre, then 352 and finally the 364 as found in this watch so this is likely to have been made towards the end of the 1940’s.

CONDITION

Post 1975 Roamer watches are cheap, as they used cheap movements and dropped the quality to compete with Asian imports during the quartz crisis.  This keeps the values down of the earlier watches to some extent, despite the in house MST movements they used.  The manual wind MST 364 in this watch has 17 jewels, sub seconds and is running nicely.  The gold plated case has wear and marks as shown, and this patina continues on the dial which is dirty.  We do know that some customers like this look, and we wouldn’t suggest cleaning or painting the dial at all.  Unlike a lot of watches from this period this Roamer does not use fixed bars, but rather uses standard spring bars which gives you more options for choosing the type of strap you want.  The leather strap we have fitted is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred.

This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
