Story & Heritage This Ross represents the understated elegance that characterised many Swiss mechanical watches produced during the mid-20th century. Its design follows the classic principles of the period: a slim round case, silver sunburst dial, applied baton indexes and a manually wound mechanical movement. Rather than relying on decorative complexity, the watch achieves its character through balanced proportions and traditional Swiss construction. The 17-jewel movement and Incabloc shock-protection system are particularly representative of the evolution of reliable everyday Swiss mechanical watches during this era. Incabloc was developed to protect the sensitive balance staff against shocks, considerably improving the durability of mechanical wristwatches. Today, the combination of its warm gold-plated case, restrained silver dial and mechanical movement gives this Ross an authentic vintage presence. A charming vintage Swiss mechanical watch for collectors who appreciate classic design, traditional manual-winding movements and genuine period character. Internal Reference Number - SOA 23
