Key Features
Gorgeous brushed silver dial house in a gold plated tonneau case with a healthy lustre. The crown sits almost flush against the case and has a healthy feeling wind to it. Two baton style hands for the hours and minutes point at both applied and painted black and gold indices around the dial, with a neat date indicator at the 3 position. We’ve paired it with a tasteful brown suede leather 18mm strap.
About Avia
Avia was a Swiss watch watch company. The history of Avia watches goes back to the latter end of the 19th century. They made good mechanical lever movement watches under their own brand name and provided watches and movements for other brands including New York, The Ball Watch company and A Wittnauer.
In 1968 after becoming part of a consortium of watch manufacturers they developed the first quartz digital watch with a LCD (liquid crystal display) and revealed it to the world in 1972. This invention took the watch market by storm and meant that watches of unparalleled accuracy could be mass produced cheaply. This market lead didn’t last long as the technology was easily copied. Eventually Avia was bought out by the Fossil Group who still sell Avia watches today.
