The pictures below show five larger views of this Old Engraved Croton Nivada Grenchen Antarctic Wrist Watch with Two Year Calendar Band. This is a self winding wrist watch that works well. It has a second hand, minute hand, and hour hand. The special Speidel band has a winding monthly calendar section under a lens. Inside is a tiny paper scroll calendar that starts at January 1972 and ends at December 1973. There is a tiny winding wheel at the upper left to wind the tiny calendar inside to the next month. This watch was an engraved gift to a 1960s high school Coach from Faculty and Students. It is marked on the face and the back, on the watch band, and it is engraved on the back as follows: (face) CROTON NIVADA GRENCHEN ANTARCTIC SWISS (back) ALL STAINLESS STEEL WATERPROOF SELF WINDING (engraved on back) COACH SPEED FACULTY STUDENTS 60L 1960 1 SHS 1962 (watch band) SPEIDEL PAT. 2,689,450 To judge the sizes the watch front, counting the dial, measures about 1-1/4'' wide. It appears to be in excellent working condition as pictured except the clear lens on the watch has some scratches from use. It could be replaced. |
