Curtis — Swiss moon phase on white dial
This vintage Curtis watch, of Swiss origin and produced in the 1990s, highlights one of watchmaking's most poetic complications: the moon phase. On a luminous white dial, a starry night sky reveals a golden moon following its cycle — a romantic and refined detail, here accessible in a dress piece with undeniable charm.
The oval case in brushed steel, with a vertical cushion shape, displays an elegant matte sobriety that contrasts beautifully with the warmth of the golden dial elements. Its soft lines and short lugs fit the wrist discreetly, in a measured size that suits both women's and men's wrists.
The white lacquered dial is the setting for a fine display: at 12 o'clock, the moon phase aperture reveals a midnight blue disc scattered with golden stars across which a golden moon glides; at 6 o'clock, a date aperture completes the display. The black Arabic numerals and railroad track ensure perfectly clear legibility, while the golden hands warm the whole. The CURTIS QUARTZ signature and the SWISS MADE mention recall the piece's Swiss origin.
Powered by the Swiss Ronda 788 quartz calibre, renowned for its reliability and moon phase module, this Curtis is fitted with a blue crocodile-style leather strap that extends the dial's nocturnal elegance. An accessible complication watch, ideal for enjoying the charm of a moon phase without breaking the bank. Selected piece, authenticated and serviced by Atelier Victor. Fast and secure international shipping.

Frequently asked questions
-
How does a moon phase complication work?
The moon phase displays the state of the lunar cycle through an aperture on the dial. A disc decorated with moons slowly turns to reveal the portion of the moon corresponding to the real sky, from the crescent to the full moon. On this Curtis, the starry midnight blue disc and the gold moon recreate this nocturnal poetry directly on the wrist. -
What is the Ronda 788 calibre?
The Ronda 788 is a Swiss quartz movement fitted with a moon phase module, renowned for its reliability and precision. It drives the hours, minutes, seconds, date, and moon phase. It is an easy-to-maintain calibre, requiring only a battery replacement. -
Does the watch display the date?
Yes, a date window is positioned at 6 o'clock on the dial, complementing the display of hours, minutes, seconds, and the moon phase. It is a complete and practical watch for daily wear. -
