Oxford, Ref. 4501SO, Cal. ETA 2783, Men’s Automatic Vintage Watch

Sale price€190,00

Black inlays and luminous plots give the matte silver dial of Oxford reference 4501SO a clear, restrained layout. The men's 1970s dress watch uses Swiss automatic caliber ETA 2783 inside a 36 mm steel case. A date at 3 adds its calendar indication, while a supple black leather strap with fine stitching completes the current configuration.

Matte silver and original baton hands

The silver dial has applied hour markers with black inlays and luminous plots at each hour position. Its sparse text leaves the furniture prominent, with the date aperture at 3 completing the layout.

The original hour and minute hands are straight, baton shaped and filled with luminous material. A central seconds hand sweeps across the dial, continuing the watch's simple mechanical time display.

Brushed steel and stitched leather

The 36 mm stainless steel case combines a brushed top with polished sides. Its slightly rounded profile gives the watch a compact appearance and reflects the softer case geometry of its period.

The polished, unsigned crown sits at 3 and operates smoothly. It allows manual winding in addition to the automatic winding of the movement.

The black leather strap is supple, with fine stitching along its edges. Its dark surface complements the silver dial and steel case, continuing the watch's understated dress character.

Swiss ETA 2783 in a French-brand watch

The automatic watch uses Swiss-made ETA 2783 with 17 jewels. Hacking seconds allow the seconds hand to stop during time setting, while manual winding supplies power alongside wrist-driven winding.

Oxford combines French brand identity with Swiss movement engineering. The watch from the 1970s retains a restrained silver dial and modest steel proportions, presenting that practical mechanical construction in a dress format.

The watch is used, fully serviced and fully operational, and is currently running accurately. Its original watch components are retained, with the fitted black leather strap. A 12-month warranty is included, and worldwide shipping is available.
