A UFO watch is referring to the flying saucer case shape that this new old stock (NOS) Ernest Borel men’s watch has. Model reference 926561.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
This watch came from a family jewellers who changed which watch brands they sold in 1975, and we bought the remaining stock from them 50 years later! It may be older than 1975, but it will not be newer and it was available to buy in 1975. Ernest Borel watches were first launched in 1946.
CONDITION
This watch is New Old Stock (NOS), and as such has never been sold and has probably only been worn for our photography. There may be small marks from being stored, but otherwise the condition is as good as you are likely to find. The shop price tag is still attached, and back in 1975 this was £35.50. The most striking feature on this watch is that case design, with the broad, patterned bezel and recessed crown. Inside the steel case is an Ernest Borel signed AS1525 manual wind movement with 17 jewels. The leather strap isn’t signed but feels like it has been on the watch since new. The watch is signed on the dial, case, movement and crown.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.

From 1st September 2021 we will be planting a tree for every watch we sell, working with the International Tree Foundation (Est 1922) to make this business positive on carbon. By buying anything pre owned you are effectively reusing what already exists, but this takes it further and makes us feel good.
