Vintage Cortebert Sport Watch (1950s)
This vintage Cortebert Sport watch, made in Switzerland in the 1950s, is a true testament to post-war utilitarian watchmaking. Originally designed to withstand an active lifestyle with its robust steel case, this piece has developed over the decades a striking visual identity that delights collectors today.
The major asset of this pre-owned luxury watch is undoubtedly its sublime "tropical" dial. Originally clear, it has matured to offer a perfectly homogeneous caramel and tobacco patina. Accompanied by Arabic numerals and military-designed hands, this dial gives the watch an unparalleled soul and history.
Powered by a reliable manual winding movement, this 29mm piece reflects the size standards of its era. These contained dimensions make it an unmistakably retro men's watch, while also asserting itself as a characterful women's watch. Paired with a textured black leather strap, this Cortebert is the very embodiment of the vintage "tool watch" spirit.
Why did we select this piece?
- For its unique tropical dial: The exceptional caramel patina transforms this timepiece into an absolutely unique piece (unique piece by definition).
- For its military allure: The clearly readable Arabic numerals and period-typed hands reinforce its historical "sport-chic" design.
- For its steel case: Indestructible material that has allowed the watch to withstand time while retaining its original lines.
