Dating to the 1970s, this gentleman's wristwatch is signed Sheraz on the dial. The dealer lists its origin as Swiss and notes that it is powered by an ETA automatic movement featuring centre seconds and an early quick-set date mechanism operated by cycling the hands backwards and forwards between midnight and 8 pm.
The gold-plated tonneau case measures 34.5 mm wide excluding the winding crown and 34 mm high excluding the lugs, paired with a stainless steel back. The sunburst champagne dial is printed 'SHERAZ FULL LIVER 25 JEWELS' and 'AUTOMATIC INCABLOC', finished with applied indices and a date window at 3 o'clock.
