A refined little time-teller from the golden age of the Swiss cocktail watch. This vintage Davega De Luxe ladies’ wristwatch dates to the 1960s and pairs a petite round case with softly tapered integrated lugs and a beautifully detailed two-tone bracelet. Panels of yellow and rose gold tone alternate down its length and finish in a bark-textured fold-over clasp. It’s a piece that reads as jewellery first and watch second, exactly as intended.
The silvered dial is clean and legible, with black Arabic numerals at the even hours, baton markers, and slim blued hands. It is signed “Davega De Luxe”, “17 Jewels Incabloc” and “Swiss”. A faceted-edge crystal catches the light around the dial in true mid-century cocktail fashion. Inside is a 17-jewel Swiss manual-wind movement with Incabloc shock protection, the mark of a properly built mechanical watch rather than a novelty piece. No batteries; just a gentle daily wind.
