Description:
A stylish mid-century Swiss automatic wristwatch by Ramona, dating to the 1950s and powered by a Felsa 692 automatic movement. The watch features a clean silvered dial with applied hour markers, Arabic numerals at 12, 6, and 9, and a date aperture at 3 with magnification. Finished with a gold-plated case and fitted with a modern leather strap, this is an attractive and wearable vintage piece with classic proportions.
Maker History:
Ramona is a lesser-known Swiss brand, typical of many mid-20th century manufacturers producing quality watches using reliable third-party movements. The inclusion of a Felsa 692 automatic calibre, one of the earlier bidirectional automatic movements, adds credibility and interest, as Felsa was a respected movement maker during this period.
