Today's offering showcases this pleasingly rare and complicated triple-date calendar watch with two crowns by Harvel Watch Co.
This special watch features an unusual calendar design. The second crown located at ten is used both to advance the month in its window and to rotate the date bezel.
The case is large for the era, measuring 36.5mm in diameter, just slightly larger than a Rolex Datejust. It has a pleasing classic design and water-resistant style screw back.
And the original dial is very beautiful with nicely toned luminous - and quite interestingly the Sundays on the calendar are marked by a Christian cross.
It is in very pleasing condition. On the wrist the case presents as just short of mint with light signs of previous polishing. The crowns appear original - all other parts of the watch are original.
Our watchmaker has freshly cleaned and oiled the movement.
Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
A very cool, fine and rare watch...
