This is a beautiful timepiece! A vintage Waltham automatic wristwatch dated from the 1970s.
It is a self-winding watch powered by an original Waltham automatic movement caliber FHF 605, featuring 17 jewels, a sweep-second hand, and a date indicator. It offers a 43-hour power reserve and operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour. Swiss made.
Original silver champagne dial with gold baton hour markers, luminous dots, a black minute/second track, and matching luminous gold hands. The date window is positioned at 3 o’clock. The dial is signed with “Waltham” and “Self-Winding” at the top, and “Incabloc” and “17 Jewels” at the bottom.
Cased in a handsome 34mm tonneau case with a base metal bezel and stainless steel back, this watch combines classic elegance with durability.
It comes on a brand-new Hadley-Roma dark brown genuine leather two-piece strap.
This watch is in good condition. It runs very well and keeps great time!

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) 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 much smaller than today's offerings. 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 the lighting, 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.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
