This handsome Deco stunner is a good size example of a top quality branded tank or rectangular shape watch , that can accurately be classified as a Uni Sex watch in 2017.
Please Note:~ that the current images were taken prior to being cleaned and fully serviced by our watchmaker and will be replaced once it has been completed.
One More Please Note:~ Author had a wondering mind when writing this listing. Instead of being 1920’s , the watch is from 1942.
We are unable to change the heading or anywhere else ‘the heading’ is mentioned , due to “breaking links & causing untold trouble” ~ This watch dates to 1942!
At approx; 26 mm’s w.o.c. by 42 m’s lug to lug , which does not look small on most men’s wrists due to the shape / design on the case.
I strongly believe that this style of watch , being what is commonly referred to as a “tank” watch or tank shaped watch , due to it’s topographical view resembling a tank {longer than wider , in a rectangular shape.
With the vast majority of this period & style of wrist watch usually having re-painted dials or poorly aged dials , it is refreshing to offer this Rare Lge DOXA 1920’s Tank ~ Rectangular Men’s Totally Original Art Deco beauty!
Many of this tank shape are made at around 20 mm’s / 22 mm’s.
With this handsome Doxa being 26 mm’s , it fully warrants a large ‘tag’.
Note the image with this watch next to a 35m Longines Mystery dial, it is not a small watch for this genre by any means & genuinely looks great on a man’s wrist!
Such a handsome original dial , with those killer hands and beautifully designed dial decoration / format ~ this one is genuinely worthy of serious consideration to those that have an appreciation for early wristwatches , like I do !
Many pundits would have dated this to the 1930’s , instead of 1942 ~ going solely on appearance / style.
This one is a good reminder that it ‘can lead to the gallows’ ~ making too many assumptions in regards to vintage watches!
