Perseo 1070, Cal. Unitas 6497, Men’s Manual Wind Dress Vintage Watch, 1988

A matte white Arabic dial and blue leather strap give this Perseo watch from 1988, reference 1070, a clear contrast. The men's dress watch uses hand-wound Unitas 6497 inside a polished 36 mm stainless steel case. Black luminous pencil hands, a small-seconds register at 6 and aged luminous hour plots preserve the watch's practical, restrained face.

White railroad dial and luminous pencil hands

Crisp black printed Arabic numerals sit within a railroad minute track. The luminous hour plots show subtle patina, and the small-seconds register at 6 is proportioned within the main dial. Perseo 17 Rubis and Incabloc inscriptions identify the jeweled movement and shock-protection design.

The black pencil-style hour and minute hands carry luminous filling. A slender small-seconds hand works within the separate register, leaving the matte white main face uncluttered.

Polished steel, acrylic and blue leather

The stainless steel case has a polished finish, slim bezel and long, straight lugs. Its 36 mm size and restrained outline suit wear beneath a cuff. An acrylic crystal completes the head.

The unsigned, fluted crown at 3 is easy to grip and winds the movement smoothly. The blue leather strap has a grain finish and tang buckle, providing a stronger colour alongside the white dial and reflective steel. Its conventional attachment allows a different strap to be fitted.

Unitas 6497 and mechanical tradition

The manual-wind watch uses Swiss-made Unitas 6497, with nominal specifications of 18,000 vibrations per hour and approximately 46 hours of power reserve. Incabloc provides shock protection. Daily winding through the crown supplies its power.

Perseo's watchmaking identity is associated with Swiss railway history and practical timekeeping. Reference 1070, a watch from the late 1980s, maintained a traditional mechanical format during the wider quartz era, expressing it through a legible white dial, separate seconds and uncomplicated steel case.

The watch is used, with light, even dial patina. It is fully serviced and fully operational, retaining its original watch head components with the blue leather strap fitted. A 12-month warranty is included, and worldwide shipping is available.
