A vintage dress watch with seventies elegance
This vintage watch from the late 1990s draws its inspiration from the aesthetic codes of great dress watches of the 1970s — those that houses such as Piaget have made iconic. Case compact, clean dark dial, finely set bezel and above all that magnificent supple woven mesh bracelet: so many elements that recall the golden age of Jewelry dress watches.
The black lacquered dial adopts the understated sophistication of a refined style, punctuated by zirconium indexes that gently catch the light. The zirconium-set bezel frames the dial with discreet brilliance, in the tradition of the dress watches of that era, when the boundary between watchmaking and jewelry was fading. The slightly oval-shaped case, compact at 30mm, fits fully within the seventies aesthetic.
But it is the woven mesh bracelet that truly defines the character of this piece. Supple, fluid, and crafted like a jewel, it evokes the woven Milanese bracelets that the great watch maisons mounted on their dress models in the 1970s. It hugs the wrist with a distinctive elegance and lends the characteristic drape of the Jewelry watches of the era. Powered by a reliable Japanese Miyota quartz movement, this piece combines practicality with vintage refinement.
A vintage watch for men and women in Unisex format, for those who appreciate understated elegance and the timeless charm of seventies dress watches. A Atelier Victor selection, photographed and inspected by our team. Fast and secure international shipping.
