2.0986 FESTINA ‘STEEL SQUARE’, SWISS 1970s

£270.00

A new and rare Festina is now available in store!

This watch has a slightly bigger case profile to most other vintage timepieces but still remains slim and comfortable enough to wear as a dress watch.

The case of this watch is designed so precisely that it almost gives the impression that the case is too slim for it’s movement. The movement in question is a super slim Calibre Peseux 7000, the predecessor of the modern luxury calibre Peseux 7001.


Festina-Sorpod is a successful Swiss watch manufactory who nowadays make in-house
Soprod calibre movements  (an alternative to ETA).

Case polishing and brushing has been updated in our workshop and the Movement has been serviced with a 12-month warranty applied.

 

About Festina

Festina is a watch brand founded in Switzerland in 1902, later becoming part of the Spanish Festina-Lotus Group following its acquisition by businessman Miguel Rodríguez in 1984. Originally established by the Stüdi family in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the brand changed hands several times before relocating to Barcelona during World War II. Over the years, Festina expanded its portfolio to include Swiss-made brands such as Candino and Perrelet, the latter dating back to 1777.

Today, the Festina Group owns multiple watch and jewelry brands, including Lotus, Jaguar, and Calypso, with operations spanning over 90 countries. The group maintains headquarters in Madrid and production facilities in both Spain and Switzerland. Known for its presence in sports marketing, particularly cycling, Festina has also positioned itself in the lifestyle segment through celebrity partnerships.
