This Felca Airmaster is in very good condition, and is an excellent example of what you can buy away from the ‘big brands’.  Model reference 9552.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

Felco were founded in 1919, and by the end of WW2 were supplying both German and US air forces with timepieces.  Shortly after, Felco became Felca, and in January 1958 Felca trademarked the Airmaster name.  This year is also consistent with when the movement was in production, so we are saying this watch was made circa 1958.  The company eventually changed name again, to Titoni, and they are still making watches.

CONDITION

This watch belies the years.  The 20 micron gold plated case is in very good condition, and the ETA 1093 movement with date is working well.  Felca were always good at branding, so the movement, dial, case back and crown are all signed.  The Tuxedo dial is very clean, but you can see a film of rainbow colours on the black centre at very oblique angles.  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.
