Rare Horus "Ferrovie dello Stato" (fs) - Issued - Vintage For sale is a fascinating Horus watch issued to the Italian State Railways (fs), a true "timepiece" originally intended for railway personnel. This example stands out for its exceptional aesthetic and functional condition, making it a piece of great interest to collectors of military and issue watches. Technical Details and Aesthetic Analysis: • Dial: Original and immaculate, a pure white that highlights the black Arabic numerals and the minute track. The real highlight is the tritium hour markers, which have developed an extraordinary, warm, and uniform patina. The original hands display the same shade of tritium aging, confirming that all components are original. At the 6 o’clock position is the inscription “t Swiss Made t.” • Case: Made of stainless steel, with a diameter of 34 mm (excluding the crown). The case retains its sharp edges and original lines, a sign of careful preservation and the absence of invasive polishing that often ruins these vintage models. • Case Back: Screw-down, made of steel. It bears the official “fs” stamp accompanied by the assignment number 1070. The marking is crisp, deep, and perfectly legible, guaranteeing the authenticity of its railway supply. • Movement: The watch is equipped with a Swiss manual-winding movement that runs perfectly. • Crystal: Original Plexiglass in excellent condition, which gives the dial that depth and warmth typical of watches from the 1960s and 1970s. Considerations for the Collector: This Horus fs represents a rare opportunity to acquire an FS-assigned watch that has not suffered the ravages of time or heavy work-related use. The combination of the Horus brand (known for supplying the FS alongside more famous brands such as Perseo and Universal Genève) and the magnificent patina of the hour markers makes it a sound investment. The watch is sold “as is” (including the brown strap shown in the photo), ready to be worn or displayed in a collection.
