Lanco - Vintage 15 Jewels Mechanical - No reserve price - Men - 1950-1959

Elegant vintage Sanco Swiss wristwatch from approximately the 1950s, combining classic mid-century proportions with a distinctive gold-tone case, sculpted lugs and a beautifully aged silver-tone dial. The dial has strong vintage character, with applied gold-tone Arabic numerals, matching hands, central seconds and a detailed outer minute track. The Sanco signature appears beneath 12 o’clock together with the “15 Jewels” designation, while “Swiss Made” is printed at 6 o’clock. Particularly attractive is the case design, with elongated stepped lugs that give the watch considerably more presence than a conventional round dress watch of the period. At approximately 34.8 mm excluding the crown, it retains traditional vintage proportions while remaining very wearable. The stainless-steel case back is marked “Fond Acier Inoxydable – Swiss Made”. The watch is fitted with a black leather strap that complements the warm gold and silver tones of the case and dial. A charming example of classic Swiss mechanical watchmaking with genuine vintage character and an appealing period design. --- Specifications * Brand: Sanco * Model: Vintage 15 Jewels Mechanical * Period: circa 1950s * Movement: Swiss mechanical * Jewels: 15 jewels, as indicated on the dial * Case material: Gold-tone plated case with stainless-steel back * Case diameter: approximately 34.8 mm excluding the crown * Case width including crown: approximately 36.1 mm * Dial: Silver-tone with natural vintage patina * Hour markers: Applied gold-tone Arabic numerals * Functions: Hours, minutes and central seconds * Case back: Stainless steel, marked “Fond Acier Inoxydable – Swiss Made” * Strap: Black leather strap with gold-tone buckle * Country of manufacture: Switzerland --- Condition Very good.
