Vintage Agon Swiss Made Ladies Mechanical Watch Gold Tone Leather Strap 1960s

Discover this charming vintage Agon ladies' mechanical wristwatch, a classic example of affordable Swiss horology from the 1960s–1970s era. Perfect for collectors or those seeking a petite, everyday timepiece with nostalgic appeal.

Key Features:

• Brand & Origin: Agon, Swiss Made (meets Swiss standards with at least 60% manufacturing in Switzerland).
• Movement: Manual-wind mechanical (likely a simple pin-lever type, such as a Baumgartner or similar ébauche; jewel count estimated 1–17 based on similar models—no visible marking on dial).
• Case: Approximately 20mm diameter, gold-plated base metal bezel with stainless steel back (engraved 'BASE METAL BEZEL 2-2993' and 'STAINLESS STEEL BACK SWISS MADE 5481-2 22.993').
• Dial: Cream-colored with guilloche texture, black bar hour markers, dauphine hands, and 'Agon' branding.
• Strap: Black leather with lizard-skin pattern, about 20cm total length including buckle; shows age-related wear.
• Size & Fit: Petite design ideal for smaller wrists; lug-to-lug ~25mm.

Condition: Pre-owned and vintage—shows moderate wear including tarnished gold plating, green patina on edges, scratched crystal, faded dial spots, and brittle strap. Hands may have slight corrosion. Not currently tested for functionality; may require winding, cleaning, or professional servicing (common for mechanical watches of this age, costing $50–$150). Sold as-is for restoration or display. No original box, papers, or warranty.

Historical Note: Agon was founded in Switzerland in the 1930s–1940s by Robert Triebold, specializing in budget Roskopf-style watches for mass markets. By the 1960s, it was part of the Economic Swiss Time Holding group, producing reliable entry-level pieces often rebranded for retailers like Sears. This model reflects the era's shift toward accessible mechanical watches before the quartz boom.

A great entry point into vintage Swiss collecting at an affordable price. Comparable restored pieces sell for $40–$80.
