1950s BUTEX
Triple Date Calendar
Wristwatch
Today we are presenting this timepiece, a vintage Butex triple date calendar wristwatch, dated from the 1950s. It is a manual wind watch powered by a mechanical movement, 17 jewels with central-second and triple calendar complication: date/month window and a central second date indicator/hand.
With a simplistic and charming design this watch is cased in a 31.5mm round case stainless steel back. The push buttons on the side of the case operate the calendar complications.
The original champagne dial is in excellent vintage condition, featuring applied gold Arabic Numerals, luminous hour markers with bold minute/seconds track and matching hands. The outer red date track complements perfectly the design. The date/month windows are located at 12 o’clock with the Butex name/logo and 17 Jewels below, it is also signed "Antimagnetic" at the bottom.
It comes on a brand-new brown Hadley-Roma genuine leather two-piece strap.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust the lighting, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
