A New Old Stock (NOS) flying saucer watch, unworn, by Swiss company Scholl.  Very large and distinctive.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

Scholl were registered as a watch maker in Biel, Switzerland in August 1975.  Given this was a very difficult time for the watch industry, and that they seem to have disappeared without much of a trace, we think this watch was made circa 1976.  However if you have any more information we would love to hear it.

CONDITION

The Flying Saucer watch case, sometimes called UFO or Disco Volante, is a term for a round case with no visible lugs.  Often, like in this example, the crown is countersunk onto the case to complete the look.  Sometimes that makes it hard to wind, but not in this case.  The look on this watch is completed by a circular buckle on the original strap, stamped Scholl on the rear.  Cosmetically the watch is excellent, as it should be.  The sticker on the case back is not even smudged.  The movement used was a Unitas 6565, a seventeen jewel manual winding one which is keeping good time.  While the strap is original it may be brittle from age, but it can be swapped for any 17 mm strap.  While this is inexpensive for a mechanical vintage watch, it will make a statement like no other.

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