Avalon
Incabloc
Swiss

This Avalon military-style wristwatch from the 1940s is truly unique! It features the original black dial, with brown outlined Arabic numerals, minute tracks and the name Avalon with Incabloc and Waterproof also in brown. With luminous syringe-style hands and red stick-style sweep second, this watch looks very cool! The 29mm round case and bezel are stainless steel, with a very nice, smooth, stainless steel adjustable mesh bracelet. The fold over clasp is signed JB and Champion Stainless Steel Made in USA. The bracelet is signed U.S.A. Pat. 3.030.686.

The manual Swiss movement is unadjusted, featuring 17 jewels, and is also signed Avalon Watch Co., SXE. Waterproof.

The very unique black dial shows a light patina that adds character while not looking anywhere near as old as 80 years. It keeps time very well!

This is a very special piece to add to any collection, or to wear, showing off a very cool vintage military-style look!

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.

We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.

The condition is pre-owned.

The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
