This Nacar 17 Rubis represents the peak of mid-20th-century dress watch design. It balances a generous 36 mm case with a remarkably thin profile, offering a timeless aesthetic that is both commanding and understated on the wrist.
Produced in the 1960s, this model showcases Nacar's mastery in creating reliable, high-quality mechanical timepieces. The "17 Rubis" movement is a hallmark of traditional Swiss craftsmanship, designed for those who appreciate mechanical purity and long-term durability.
The 36 mm gold-plated brass case is characterized by its slim 9 mm profile and elegant, sharp lugs. This geometry allows the watch to wear larger than its dimensions suggest while remaining discreet enough to fit under a formal shirt cuff. The stainless steel case back ensures a comfortable feel and protection against wear.
The dial is a study in classic proportions, featuring a crisp cream-white finish. It is accented by applied gold-tone indices and elegant Roman numerals at 3, 6, 9, and 12, creating a balanced and highly legible face. A "small seconds" sub-dial at 6 o'clock adds a touch of vintage technical sophistication.
The watch is paired with a premium black alligator skin strap, providing a sharp contrast to the gold tones of the case.
