Gold Filled / Stainless Steel, Omodox Triple Date Calander / Moonphase Hand wound Wristwatch, circa 1950's

The Omodox Triple Date Calendar Moonphase represents a fascinating chapter of mid-century Swiss watchmaking, when small brands competed with industry giants by offering complicated timepieces at accessible price points. Produced during the 1950's the golden age of mechanical watchmaking. The gold filled case construction, where a thick layer of gold is bonded to a brass base, was a practical solution that provided the luxurious appearance of solid gold at a fraction of the cost, making complications like triple calendars and moonphases available to a broader audience, using reliable Swiss ébauche movements from makers like FHF or AS.
