I am offering for sale this elegant vintage Record Genève, produced around 1960 and powered by the Record 022-18 in-house manual-winding movement. Its light-colored dial, accented with applied hour markers and Arabic numerals with a rosy sheen, gives it a particularly warm character. Its 34-mm stainless steel case retains the slender, balanced proportions characteristic of Swiss watches from this period. Founded in Tramelan in 1903, Record was a true watch manufacturer, designing its own calibers before coming under the control of Longines in the early 1960s. The watch is equipped with the hand-wound Record 022-18 caliber, featuring 17 jewels and an Incabloc shock-absorption system. The movement is signed “Record Watch Co Genève” and is pictured in the advertisement. The crown bears the “r” for Record. The dial displays a natural patina as well as slight signs of aging between its center and the 9 o’clock hour marker. The watch is functioning and winds normally at the time of listing. However, I have not performed any recent professional servicing or accuracy testing on it.
