About Regency

Regency was a UK-Swiss watch brand (a sub-brand of Accurist Watches) active primarily in the mid-to-late 20th century, producing Swiss-made mechanical watches often paired with bold, contemporary case designs. While never positioned as a mass-market manufacturer, Regency focused on fashionable, well-built manual and automatic watches that reflected prevailing design trends – particularly during the 1960s and 1970s.

Condition

The watch is in very good vintage condition. The chrome plated case shows minimal wear with only light surface scuffs, retaining sharp lines and a clean finish. The original mineral crystal is well preserved. The dial is particularly attractive, with a rich red gradient that shifts beautifully under different lighting conditions.

The movement has been fully serviced and is running correctly. A 12-month warranty is applied.

Movement & Use

Powered by the reliable A. Schild AS 1950/51 calibre, a widely respected Swiss movement used by many quality brands of the era. The date features a quick-set function operated by advancing the hands back to approximately 9:00 PM, a typical and practical solution for movements of this generation.
