Key Features
This 1970’s PRISMA dress watch sports a pleasant, minimalist design, reflecting the Dutch roots of the company. It has an interesting looking and comfortably wearable case – a slim, rectangular shape on a relatively wide 20 mm strap. The size is larger than we are used to seeing from watches of this age. The reddish brown colour and snakeskin style of the strap adds of pop of excitement to the design, while the dial colour combination has beautiful vintage blue and silver tones. The chrome plated case is stylish, and holds a high-quality Swiss movement.
About Prisma
Prisma was first founded as a joint collaboration between a group of Dutch watchmakers in 1948. The company is named after the shape of a cut diamond – the many rays of light that stream through the angles of a diamond representing the variety of the brand.
Prisma is very much connected to The Netherlands and take their inspiration from the Dutch population and Dutch lifestyle. They were one of the world’s first watch brands to use quartz movements in the mid-20th century, and have been worn by Dutch celebrities such as Johan Cruijff and Irene Moors.
