Gents 9ct Gold Smiths Astral Aquatite Watch, 1966
Gents 9ct Gold Smiths Astral Aquatite Watch, 1966
The watch has a good quality hand-winding movement, the 17-jewel slimline calibre 60464, which is working nicely. The movement is stamped ‘Made in England’.
The watch measures 34mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is a good heavy weight and is 9 carat gold, there are hallmarks inside the screw-on case back for Birmingham 1966 with a case maker’s mark for the Birmingham based case maker Aaron Dennison. The case is the Aquatite model and was proudly advertised at the time as being “a watertight watch case”… as with any vintage watch however, it should be kept away from water and moisture.
The front and sides of the case are in good condition. The screw-on case back has some light surface marking, perhaps where it has been polished. There is a long service inscription to the back of the watch from Wilmot Breeden Ltd, a major supplier of parts to the British motor industry.
The lens is in good condition.
The signed dial is in its original finish which has aged nicely and now has a good “tropical” appearance.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable. If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.
Due to Customs regulations, we are unable to send watches / precious metals to certain countries. If you are unsure about your country’s regulations, please contact us and we can check for you. Any orders from prohibited countries will be refunded, less any Paypal fees which are non-refundable.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

Credit / debit card purchases can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the \'Buy Securely\' button on each listing page.
We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
