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.
