Water resistance has not been tested. Contact with water should therefore be avoided unless the watch is professionally pressure-tested and resealed. Story & Heritage The enduring appeal of a vintage dress watch lies in its proportions and restraint. This Neptun expresses that character through a slender bezel, an open silver dial and carefully spaced golden markers—details that give the design a quiet elegance. The double marker at 12 o’clock provides a clear visual anchor, while the dotted minute track adds definition without crowding the dial. At the centre, the elongated hands complement the fine baton markers, and the small Neptun signature with its wave motif introduces a distinctive decorative touch. The warm gold-plated case and brown leather strap soften the composition, creating a natural pairing with the aged silver dial. Its modest 33 mm diameter preserves the discreet presence associated with traditional vintage watches. Inside, the mechanical movement adds the appeal of a timepiece powered by a physical mechanism. With its balanced design, subtle patina and classic colour palette, this Neptun offers an attractive expression of everyday vintage elegance. Internal Reference Number - XTM 252
