Mauthe Cal. 612, 1962

Early-1960s German Dress Watch Design

The watch has the clean and balanced look typical of classic dress watches from the beginning of the 1960s. Its warm gold-plated case, slim profile and simple dial layout give it an understated elegance, making it suitable for collectors who appreciate traditional mechanical watches with refined vintage styling.

Light Sunburst Dial with Vintage Warmth

The dial has a light white to silver-tone sunburst finish that catches the light beautifully and gives the watch a soft, elegant appearance. The Mauthe signature is placed below 12 o’clock, while slim hour markers and central hands keep the layout clean and easy to read. The original luminous material on the hands adds an authentic period detail and reinforces the watch’s vintage character.

Gold-Plated 34mm Case

The gold-plated case measures approximately 34mm without the crown and 39mm from lug to lug, giving the watch a classic and comfortable vintage wrist presence. The side-view photos show the slim dress-watch profile, polished bezel and traditional lug shape. Its proportions make it easy to wear as a formal watch or as a refined everyday mechanical timepiece.

Hand-Wound Mauthe Cal. 612 Movement

Inside is the Mauthe Cal. 612, a German manual-winding mechanical movement from the 1960s. This caliber gives the watch the traditional daily winding experience that many vintage collectors enjoy. The fully serviced condition makes the watch ready to wear, while the Cal. 612 movement adds historical interest for collectors of German mechanical watches.

All-Original Vintage Character

This Mauthe Cal. 612 is described as all original, which is an important detail for collectors. The original dial, hands, case and overall presentation give the watch honest vintage appeal. Its combination of a light sunburst dial, gold-plated case and hand-wound movement makes it a charming alternative to more common Swiss dress watches from the same period.
