A genuine Swiss Eska from the 1960s
Eska is a Swiss watch brand renowned for the quality of its mechanical movements and the finishing of its dress watches. The case back of this model is signed Eska, confirming the authenticity of this vintage piece.
The style of the dial, the typography of the applied Arabic numerals and the presence of a small seconds at 6 o'clock allow us to attribute this watch to the early 1960s , an emblematic period of Swiss watch design.
A mother-of-pearl dial with elegant reflections
Exceptional visual depth
The dial features a superb mother-of-pearl finish that catches the light and produces subtle iridescent reflections. This texture gives the watch a rich visual quality, rare on models of this era.
Applied gold Arabic numerals
The raised, gold-plated Arabic numerals ensure perfect readability while adding a distinctly vintage aesthetic. The slim, elegant hands complete the dial's visual balance.
20-micron gold-plated case: superior quality
The case is made of 20-micron gold plating , also noted as G.20 microns . This designation indicates that the layer of genuine gold covering the case is 20 microns thick, representing a high level of quality in vintage Swiss watchmaking.
By comparison, many gold-plated watches of the era offered only 5 to 10 microns of plating. A 20-micron plating guarantees much better resistance to wear and explains the superb warm patina that this Eska 9604 retains today.
Mechanical movement with manual winding
An authentic watchmaking heart
This Eska watch is powered by a hand-wound mechanical movement , a traditional technology prized by vintage watch enthusiasts. The small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock is characteristic of high-quality Swiss calibers from this period.
Black leather bracelet and gold-plated buckle
The watch is fitted with a new and elegant black leather strap , perfectly matching the dressy character of the piece. It is finished with a gold-plated pin buckle that complements the case.
Vintage condition and patina
Very good condition
This Eska 9604 has a beautiful vintage patina while remaining in very good condition . The dial, case, and hour markers are remarkably well preserved for a watch over 60 years old.
