What you see is a modern made pocket watch with a vintage style. The dieameter of the watch is aprox. 4 cm = 1,6"
A classic vintage pocket watch is a classic timepiece, typically worn on a chain and carried in a pocket, that was made several decades ago—often between the late 1800s and mid-1900s. These watches are prized for their craftsmanship, mechanical movements, and antique value.
Here are a few key things to know about vintage pocket watches:
🔹 Types
Open-face: No cover over the dial.
Hunter-case: A spring-hinged metal cover that protects the watch face.
Half-hunter: Has a small glass window or hole in the cover so you can see the time without opening it.
🔹 Key Features
Mechanical movement (manual winding)
Roman or Arabic numerals
Engraved cases or decorative dials
Maker’s mark inside the case or on the movement (e.g., Waltham, Elgin, Hamilton, Omega)
🔹 Popular Brands
American: Waltham, Elgin, Hamilton, Illinois
Swiss: Omega, Longines, Patek Philippe
🔹 Collectible Value Depends On:
Age and condition
Brand and rarity
Case material (gold, silver, nickel, etc.)
Movement type and quality
Originality (unaltered parts, original dial, etc.)

A very clean looking Zenith El Primero C.01
it is 38mm and no date, which makes it really clean. The grey of the subdials has a nice contrast and plays nicely with the sun.
It was delivered on a Cordura strap. I bought a bracelet and many other straps for it.
Still I prefer to wear it on a simple Barton rubber strap. With the 10atm it is perfect watch for a day at the beach as well.
The El Primero 4061 doesn't really need any explanation,.. it is simply great.
This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite watches.

A Nice HAQ watch, always easy to have one. Just grab it and go and it also looks nice.
In the end I also bought a Citizen Chronomaster, which I prefer. Still this is a great watch for value.
Late 70s quartz watch by Junghans with the second generation Junghans quartz movement: the 667 (version .20). I'd say '76-'78 period (should be printed inside but could not find it so far).
Not a Max Bill and not a Astro / Astra Quartz but still decent, fresh, large (!) and a work horse. Some love for early quartzes ;)
