Wittanuer is an American watch brand founded in 1880 by a Swiss immigrant, Alber Wittnauer. "That means that while these watches were marketed toward Americans, they incorporated elements of Swiss watch design."

This UNIQUE timepiece is a Wittnauer wristwatch dated from the 1960s.

It is a manual wind watch with a Wittnauer Watch Co.

This movement line is a Record design, and it was adopted by Longines, when Record was acquired by Longines.

After 60 years, it still has the original blue dial with silver hour marks and silver matching hands. The date indicator is located at 6. Also, the dial is signed “Wittnauer Geneve Automatic”.

The watch is coming with a new-old-stock brown Genuine Leather two-piece strap.

It is still in LOVELY condition. Runs very well and keeps great time.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men's watches typically measure between 29-36mm (some larger, some smaller) wide excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women's watches from the 1900s-1970s were also somewhat smaller than today’s offerings in many cases. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.

We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust light, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.

The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended.
See all the photos, feel free to ask questions if you have any.

It will be carefully packed.
