A great design Certina Argonaut 280 watch in all stainless steel case with silver white dial. Inside is a Certina handwind movement that is working great and also has a date at the bottom (quick-set between 20-24 hours). This watch was produced in Switzerland in the 1970’s. The large case measures 37 mm wide without the non- signed crown. The strap is a matching new white-blue 20 mm Nato type that fits perfect. It has some signs of use on the case but nothing major, the plastic crystal is scratch free. Make sure to watch the attached youtube video on loads of vintage watch information.
Vintage watch guarantee and ideas on use:
All vintage watches I sell are tested and working correct. When they needed service or adjustment this has been done by a professional watchmaker. I do not keep paperwork on every separate watch. I cannot give a long guarantee on vintage watches since it depends on how careful they are handled. Sometimes rough shipment can hurt them, no matter how well I package them. I will always take them back when there are problems upon receiving or in the first weeks of use. Please treat your vintage watch as a precious old timer car. Do not go out in the rain, play sports with them or take them on long holidays. Do buy a good watch box to keep them in and change your strap in time. Wear them for a few days at a time and change them out. Do not set the date when the hands are within a few hours before or after 12 o’ clock. Never use force, sent me an email if you are not sure on how to work your vintage watch.
