The Certina Bristol 195 is a refined and increasingly hard-to-find vintage Swiss dress watch from the mid-20th century. This example features an original silver sunburst dial with applied hour markers and slim hands, housed in a 35mm gold-tone case that wears elegantly on the wrist. Powered by a hand-wound Swiss movement, the watch is in proper working order and reflects the understated design language Certina was known for during this era. An original signed Certina crown adds to its authenticity. This watch shows honest signs of age and wear consistent with decades of use and has not been refinished or restored. A distinctive and collectible piece for those who appreciate original-condition vintage watches with character.
