Cattin C66, Men’s Manual Wind, 1965","description":"\u003cp\u003eVintage Mortima Super Calendar Manual Wind from 1965 is a Men’s French mechanical watch powered by the Cattin C66 caliber, combining a black dial, 24-hour scale, green luminous-style markers, red date display and a city-name outer bezel. Offered for sale with distinctive mid-1960s tool-watch character, it is fitted with a black and gray striped NATO-style strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMortima Super Calendar 1965 — layered scales and oversized wrist presence\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a 43 mm case diameter and equally compact 43 mm lug-to-lug measurement, this Mortima has an unusually broad, almost square-on-the-wrist presence for its era. The round dial is surrounded by multiple information tracks, including a 24-hour scale, an inner tachymeter scale and an outer ring printed with international city names. The result is a visually dense but purposeful layout that gives the watch a strong mid-century tool-watch identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBlack dial with 24-hour numerals and green hour plots\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black dial combines conventional hour markers with an inner 24-hour numeral track running from 13 through 24. Large circular and rectangular green luminous-style plots mark the principal hours, while white minute divisions provide additional structure around the perimeter. MORTIMA and 17 JEWELS are printed beneath 12 o’clock, and SUPER CALENDAR appears above 6. The layered typography remains highly legible despite the amount of information presented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eArrow handset and red-framed calendar display\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe broad hour hand has a prominent arrow form, paired with a long minute hand and a slender central seconds hand. Their pale inserts echo the green-toned hour plots. A small calendar aperture sits in the lower-right quadrant and uses red numerals inside a contrasting frame, giving the date immediate visual emphasis without occupying the conventional 3 o’clock position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWorld-city bezel and tachymeter scale define the exterior\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe case is surrounded by a black outer ring printed with city names including New York, Chicago, Hong Kong, Tokio, Sydney and others, creating a period travel-watch aesthetic. Inside it sits a clearly marked TACHYMETRE scale. These printed scales are presented as visible design and calculation features rather than as claims of an independently powered world-time complication. The exterior shows age-related wear and loss to portions of the printed bezel, consistent with regular vintage use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDual crowns and compact case geometry\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo ridged crowns are visible on the right side of the case, one near 2 o’clock and another near 4 o’clock. Their presence reinforces the instrument-like character of the design and provides separate external controls. The case has rounded shoulders and a broad polished profile, with visible surface wear appropriate to its age. The exact case material is not confirmed, so no stainless-steel claim is made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBlack and gray striped NATO-style strap\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe watch is fitted with a black fabric NATO-style strap with twin gray stripes and metal keepers. Its utilitarian appearance suits the large case and multi-scale dial, while the 18 mm width keeps the strap visually controlled relative to the 43 mm watch head. The strap is adjustable and is not presented as an original period component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCattin C66 manual-wind movement with 17-jewel dial signature\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe movement is confirmed as the Cattin C66, a manual-wind caliber associated with Cattin \u0026amp; Cie. The dial visibly states 17 JEWELS, allowing that specification to be included without inference. Hand winding gives the watch a direct mechanical ownership routine, while the calendar display adds everyday practicality. The watch is listed as serviced and fully operational.

The unusual combination gives the Super Calendar a character very different from a conventional dress watch.

The dial remains highly legible, while the outer bezel, case and scale printing show visible age-related wear that is consistent with a watch of this period. The striped NATO-style strap is fitted for current wear and is not claimed as original. No box or papers are included, and the watch carries a 12-month warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMortima\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuper Calendar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGood Vintage Condition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGender\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMen’s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCaliber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCattin C66\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCategory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual Wind\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduction Year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1965 year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDial Color\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCase Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLug to Lug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLug Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWrist Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustable strap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMovement Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual Wind\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBox\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePapers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully Serviced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully Operational\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal Watch Components\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 Months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Mortima","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44494213382209,"sku":null,"price":480.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/2768\/1857\/files\/mortima-super-calendar-cal-cattin-c66-mens-manual-wind.webp?v=1788037386","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewatchstudio.com\/products\/mortima-super-calendar-cal-cattin-c66-mens-manual-wind","provider":"Vintage Watch Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
