A simple men’s Cyma dress watch. but these are great often overlooked watches with in house movements.  Model reference 8347.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

It is not possible to date this watch with 100% accuracy, but the movement used in the watch was in production between 1953 and 1959.  We have picked a mid point year as a likely year of production.

CONDITION

Cyma were founded in 1862, and made some really nice watches and movements.  The more famous watches are the Navy Star and the Diving Star, but the in house movements show the quality of these watches were always a premium product.  This simple dress watch has the R.486 manual wind movement, which is nicely finished and running well.  Cyma watches had a unique anti shock protection, called Cymaflex, which Cyma used in their adverts to show how technically advanced they are (nowadays the most a marketing department will do is get a celebrity to wear a watch…).  The case is gold plated to a thickness of 20 microns, double many watch brands, and it has stood up well over the years.  The leather strap 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.
