This vintage Certina ladies' wristwatch reflects the craftsmanship of mid-20th-century Swiss watchmaking, featuring a captivating orange patina dial with painted Arabic numerals and blued steel hands. Powered by the manual-wind Cal. K.F. 340 with 15 jewels, it is currently non-running — likely overwound — and is offered as a repair project. The character-rich dial and original Swiss caliber make it a worthwhile piece for a watchmaker or hobbyist.

Highlights

  • Captivating orange patina dial with painted Arabic numerals
  • Blued steel hands with subsidiary seconds register
  • Original Cal. K.F. 340 manual-wind movement, 15 jewels
  • Caseback engraved "Water-Resistant – Shock-Resistant – Non-Magnetic"
  • Sold as repair project — likely overwound, requires service

Cal. K.F. 340 Repair Project

The watch houses an original Certina-marked Cal. K.F. 340 manual-wind movement, stamped Swiss Made on the bridge. The mainspring is suspected to be overwound, preventing the movement from running in its current state — a common issue that can typically be resolved by a competent watchmaker through a full service. The case and dial are otherwise complete and ready for restoration.
