Vintage Helbros Swiss Manual Wind Wristwatch with Original Box and Expansion Band - A vintage Helbros dress wristwatch featuring a manual wind Swiss movement. The aged gold-toned dial is set with Arabic numeral hour markers and a sub-seconds register located at the 6 o'clock position. The dial bears the Helbros name and logo under the 12 o'clock position and is marked Swiss at the bottom. The watch is housed in a gold-toned base metal case with a stainless steel case back. The case back is stamped Stainless Steel Back along with the serial number 749619 and a small rectangular mark reading Aluminium. The watch is fitted with an original Helbros signed gold-toned expansion band. This lot includes the original green leatherette presentation box with blue Helbros branding and a matching branded fabric polishing cloth that reads Helbros The Correct Watch For The Correct Time. Per user-provided data, the movement runs. Case diameter: 26mm. The watch is in poor cosmetic condition. The crystal is heavily crazed and cracked across the entire surface. The gold-toned expansion band shows severe oxidation and significant green verdigris throughout the links. The case exhibits visible wear to the gold plating, particularly on the lugs and crown, along with surface scratching. While the movement is reported to run, it has not been tested for timekeeping accuracy or long-term functionality. The presentation box and cloth show age-related wear and staining.
