This unusual but attractive Rodania watch has a stepped hexagonal case that suits just about every wrist size.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

Rodania were founded in Grenchen, Switzerland, in 1930.  The modern company operates out of Belgium, but still use Swiss movements.  From the production dates of the movement, combined with the styling, we estimate this watch was made circa 1975.

CONDITION

The watch is in very good condition indeed, and looks barely worn.  The stepped case is chrome finished and shows little to no damage, and the dial has just a few age marks.  The symbol at 12 is not a Mercedes logo, but instead is supposed to represent three watch hands and was used by Rodania since the fifties.  The manual wind, 17 jewel movement was more mainstream than high end horology, but it is winding, setting and running well and keeping decent time.   The orange leather strap is new but fairly short, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred.  The strap currently highlights how the silver/chrome combination can be paired with any colour strap.

This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
