Description: PLEASE NOTE: I am selling a number of watches and parts from several collections I acquired. They are in various conditions and all are being sold 'AS IS', including this Rare '40's WWII Era Certina Labora 15 Jewel Swiss Unrestored Dial Runs Great!, so please read my descriptions carefully before bidding or buying. I will attempt to be as accurate as possible and I also package very well, but watches are somewhat delicate by nature, so please ask questions if you're not sure what you are buying. Also, please read my feedback and note that my BIN prices are usually under the selling point at end of auctions... this watch will look better in your hand than it does in the pics. A long recognized Swiss watch brand, I believe this Certina 'Labora' manual wind dates to the early '40's, but could be as early as late '30's. The classic, unrestored original dial has a cool vintage look and the hands look good, too, as apparently the radium has been replaced with later luminous compound. It's signed 'Certina' and 'Labora'. The original cal. KF410 movement is very clean in appearance for its age. It's signed 'Certina' 'Swiss Made' and ' '15 Jewels'. The watch winds, sets, and runs well, keeping decent time, as it has been recently serviced. The rugged, all stainless steel case is low wear for the era, with normal surface scratches, but no abuse. It's fitted with what could be it's original, vintage, 2-piece nylon band that's in surprisingly good shape as well and looks great on this piece. The acrylic crystal is new. This is a vintage classic and definitely collectable, but would also make a cool regular wearer...don't miss it!
