Cyma Clamshell '2 Tone'
An aspect of 20th Century watchmaking the we love is how technical innovations affected the aesthetics of a watch. Take for instance this amazing Cyma; it is an early example of a waterproof case aka a Clamshell case. The case is held in place by 4 screws in the back which seal the movement and dial from atmospheric conditions.
This late 30s/ early 40s watch has an absolutely stunning 2 tone black and salmon dial with rose gold gilt printing and original radium numerals and handset that have seemingly not aged. The overall condition of the watch is extraordinary with a perfectly faceted and untouched case and mint, flawless dial.
This piece is both an extremely rare oversized rectangular watch for the time and an oddity in the field of condition, having preserved itself immaculately for 80+ years. It is available on a vintage GF bamboo ladder bracelet.
