This blue dialed Le Cheminant men’s stainless steel automatic watch looks unworn. Model reference 683
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
There is no accurate way to date this watch that we know of, but give the movement production dates we think it was made circa 1960.
CONDITION
Regular visitors will know we like Le Cheminant watches, so when we were offered a blue dialed auto, with an all stainless steel case, in unworn condition with the original box we leapt at it. There is however one issue – part of the dial near nine is stained and we can’t clean it up. That is why this watch is cheap, and if you don’t mind that then you are getting a bargain. The case only has light storage marks, and the tritium lume on the hands is not faded to cream, meaning this has probably spent 99% of its life in the orignal box. The movement is a 21 jewel ETA 2452 automatic with calendar, which can be semi quick set. The leather strap appears to be the original, but could be swapped for a different colour if preferred.
This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box, and our Certificate of Authenticity.
