This Sindaco is a stylish representative of the transition between the 1960s and 70s, a period when watchmaking began to embrace bolder, non-traditional case shapes. It offers a warm, vintage aesthetic that balances the utility of an automatic movement with a unique architectural presence.
Produced during the late 1960s to early 70s, this model highlights Sindaco's role in creating accessible Swiss mechanical watches. The "17 Jewels" automatic movement was a hallmark of convenience for the era, designed to be powered by the natural motion of the wearer's wrist.
The 32 mm gold-plated brass case features a soft-cornered square silhouette, often referred to as a "TV-dial" shape. Despite its compact diameter, the 13 mm thickness gives the watch a substantial, robust feel on the wrist. The stainless steel case back ensures durability and long-term comfort.
The dial features a refined champagne sunburst finish with a vertical brushed texture that interacts beautifully with light. It is accented by applied gold-tone indices and a practical date window at 3 o'clock. The original hands and clean "Swiss Made" signature maintain the watch's authentic character.
The watch is paired with a premium 17 mm black alligator skin strap, providing a sophisticated contrast to the gold tones of the case.
