A birth year vintage watch is more personal than a standard modern watch. It connects the recipient to a specific production year, design era and piece of watchmaking history, making it a meaningful choice for birthdays, anniversaries and personal collections.

Many buyers choose birth year watches for milestone birthdays such as a 30th, 40th, 50th or 60th birthday. A watch from the year someone was born carries a story that a new watch simply cannot reproduce.

At Vintage Watch Studio, each available watch is individually photographed, inspected and sold as the exact piece shown. Our birth year vintage watches include selected examples from brands such as Seiko, Omega, Tissot, Longines, Zenith, Doxa and Certina, with worldwide tracked shipping and a 12-month warranty.

It took a lot of time for the package to be delivered and I still do not know if our email exchange was successful. However I received my watch as advertised and at a good price so I have no complaints in the end. These Serbs are even kind enough to save you some import taxes, so really they did me a solid.

Alexandros Sakogiannis

I thought the condition shown was almost too good to be true, but the watch is actually original as pictured and running accurately so far. I really want to emphasize the condition was immaculate for a vintage Omega. They also saved me on import fees into my country. I was really happy and surprised about that and it shows a lot of care. It’s a rare thing that I always commend shippers for.
