A cheap entry into vintage watches, this Limit watch has a manual wind movement and good blue dial.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the production dates of the movement and the styling we can date this watch to being made circa 1975.
CONDITION
Limit is not a high end brand, nor is it a iconic watch in horology. The case is only chrome plated, and things like the crown and bracelet are not signed. They were never expensive when new, but they can now provide a good value Swiss watch to those who are starting out in watch collecting, or those that are expanding their collection and don’t want to spend too much money. So you get the chromed case, with hooded lugs and a TV dial acrylic crystal, housing a 17 jewel manual wind mechanical winding movement. Some of the chrome is pitted, and we can not be sure if the long bracelet is original to the watch or not, but it suits rather well and we have cleaned it in our ultrasonic bath. The movement is the 17 jewel FE140-1B, with shock protection (hence Incabloc in the dial). It is running well and has semi quick set date. The dial and hands are both very good, and highly legible. This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
