Sandoz - Kanji Dial Dress Watch Ultra Thin Manual Winding Circa 1960 Ref. 554Y-66

Here is this Sandoz Kanji Dial Dress Watch Ultra-Thin, reference 554Y-66, dating from circa 1960. A particularly original dress watch distinguished by its unusual dial and the slender, elegant proportions of its case.

Its 33 mm gold-plated case houses a beautiful deep red dial, whose defining feature is its collection of gold-tone Kanji character hour markers arranged around the perimeter. Two slender gold-tone baton hands display the hours and minutes, while the Sandoz signature is positioned below 12 o’clock. The absence of both a seconds hand and date display further enhances the clean aesthetic of this piece.

It is powered by the Peseux 7040, a hand-wound mechanical movement featuring 17 jewels, operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour and providing approximately 44 hours of power reserve. The movement will be regulated as closely as possible to achieve the best possible timekeeping performance considering its age.

The watch is fitted with a brown leather strap and a generic gold-plated buckle.

It comes with our 6-month warranty.
