1950s Gruen Precision Automatic – Stainless Steel – 34mm – Original Silver Dial
 
A beautifully preserved 1950s Gruen Precision automatic with a clean stainless-steel case and a wonderfully aged silver dial. At 34mm, it wears perfectly as a classic mid-century everyday watch — understated, reliable, and quietly stylish.
 
The dial features raised Arabic numerals, dauphine hands, a date window at 3 o’clock, and a warm, even patina that adds character without sacrificing legibility. The stainless-steel case retains its sharp lines, paired with a period-correct domed acrylic crystal.
 
Inside is Gruen’s Swiss automatic movement, freshly regulated and running nicely.
