Delano - FHF 74 Vintage Sveitsisk Mekanisk Klokke

Cleaned, Serviced, Lubricated & New strap fitted.

Delano is another Swiss watch company that did not survive the quartz crisis.

This watch is running very well. The movement is signed and the watch is fitted with a crystal with a gold coloured tension ring - these are both signs of higher quality watches from the era. The case has some wear to the gold plate particularly on the tips of the lugs and the dial has a few small marks but is generally in good condition for a watch that is over 60 years old.

About me:

As a pastime I buy old watches and try to restore them to their former glory. To fund my hobby I have decided to sell some of the watches I believe are ready to be, and should be, worn again. The watches I work on are typically those where the paying the price of a full professional service would be hard to justify. Each watch is disassembled, cleaned, inspected, re-assembled, lubricated (with top end modern synthetic oils), demagnetised and then regulated to run as accurately as possible. If spare parts are needed, original parts are ordered or salvaged from watches with the same movements. New gaskets are installed and, if needed, the mainspring and crystal are replaced and a new strap fitted
