A simple, manual wind dress watch that will not break the bank – this Jules Jurgensen watch is an easy yes.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

There are no serial numbers on this watch by design.  This wasn’t a high end watch and as such we have to use other methods to give an approximation to the date it was made.  The movement was in production between 1965 and 1975, so we have picked a mid point year.

CONDITION

While the dial boasts that Jules Jurgensen were established in 1740, the company has not been constantly making watches since that date. (the oldest continuously operating watch company is Vacheron Constantin, which has has been making watches since 1755.)  So, while the dial boast is nice it should be taken with a pinch of salt.  The movement in this watch is a Lorsa 238, which has seventeen jewels and is manually wound.   It is all working well and is nice to wind.  This is set in gold plated case and the case plating is showing some pitting to the rear.  From the front you can see some wear, but not as bad as the enlarged studio photos make it look.  The dial is very nice, and clean in both design and condition.  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.
