Overview
This is a vintage Swiss manual-wind dress wristwatch by Withour, featuring the 'Golden Eagle' moniker. It showcases an ultra-clean, minimalist mid-century champagne dial with a sub-seconds register and 'Antimagnetic' designation, housed in a classic slim bezel case.
Story
Post-war Swiss watchmakers produced sleek, elegant timepieces for an emerging class of global travelers. This minimalist Golden Eagle watch traded busy numerals for pure, streamlined elegance.
Maker / Origin
Withour was one of numerous independent Swiss marques active during the golden era of Swiss mechanical horology before the 1970s Quartz Crisis. Like many boutique Swiss brands, they cased high-grade ébauche movements (often from makers like AS, ETA, or Felsa) into stylish, well-finished dress cases.
Condition & Value
Shows honest vintage character. Visible patina and spotting along the lower perimeter of the dial between 5 and 7 o'clock, with light scratches on the acrylic crystal and metal bezel. Running condition is unverified, which significantly impacts value.
