An timeless classic with retro charm: this Darwil wristwatch combines elegance and functionality in a simple and refined design.

The round gold case highlights the perfectly readable white dial, featuring a central second hand and a date display at 3 o'clock for convenient daily use. The contrast between the luminous case and the clean dial emphasizes the understated nature of this timepiece.

Equipped with important technologies for its time, the watch is Incabloc (shock protection), waterproof (water-resistant), and antimagnetic, a feature that makes it suitable for reliable everyday use.

The steel back is screwed down, ensuring robustness and water resistance, with the production number 678145, useful for dating (between 1965 and 1970) and historical identification.

Ideal vintage watch for lovers of classic style and proven functionality, as elegant to wear every day as it is to keep as a collector's item.

• Case diameter: 35 mm

History of Darwil: The Darwil brand was born in 1910 at the initiative of Darko Wilfan, a visionary entrepreneur, who began watch production in Switzerland in collaboration with manufacturers specializing in mechanical movements. The initials of his name gave rise to "Dar-Wil", a brand destined to spread far beyond Swiss borders.

From its origins, Darwil stood out by a clear principle: to offer reliable, elegant, and accessible Swiss Made watches capable of combining technical quality and aesthetic taste. Production developed in the Grenchen region, the beating heart of Swiss watchmaking in the 20th century.

During the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, Darwil became widely popular in Europe, especially in Italy and Eastern European countries. In Trieste, a historic commercial crossroads, the famous "Palazzo Darwil" became a reference point for the brand's sales, contributing to its popularity. For many, owning a Darwil meant wearing an authentic Swiss watch: solid, precise, built to last.

Watch second-hand - as the watch has been opened for inspection and servicing in the workshop, the original water resistance guarantee can no longer be ensured except against rain and splashes.
