2.0837 CYMA ‘WATERSPORT’ BUMPER AUTOMATIC, SWISS 1940s

£500.00

This timepiece features a pleasantly heavy and thick stainless steel case which is a good size for the wrist.

This case features a rather unusual ‘bubble’ style caseback which allows for a slim case profile. 


This timepiece’s movement (specifically designed for the wearers left wrist) features an early self-winding device with a hammer instead of rotor usually named a ‘bumper’ movement. This gives the watch quite a unique wearing experience as you can feel the tactile hammer bumping back and forth as the timepiece moves.

The original radium compound on indexes and hands have been replaced with safe lume, coloured to match an aged vintage look without being radioactive.
