For sale is a 1960s Wittnauer "All Proof" Sub-Second, a timepiece that represents a perfect intersection of mid-century minimalism and ingenious Swiss-American case engineering.
The watch features a bright, metallic silver dial anchored by the applied vintage "W" Wittnauer logo. Sleek, flat-edge hands sweep over minimalist, applied silver baton hour markers. Grounding the watch with an architectural, mid-century modern flair is the precise crosshair sub-seconds dial located at 6 o'clock. Cased in polished stainless steel and paired with a classic black leather strap, this monochromatic profile serves as an effortless dress watch that can easily transition to daily casual wear.
Brand: Wittnauer
Era: 1960s
Case Style: "All Proof" Hermetic Front-Loading Case
Case Material: Stainless Steel
Dial: Metallic silver with applied "W" logo and crosshair sub-seconds
Movement: Manual Wind Mechanical
Strap: Classic black leather
The luxury watch market is aggressively shifting away from oversized modern cases back toward classic, modest proportions, and this piece perfectly captures the sleek, understated footprint of the 1960s that enthusiasts are currently hunting for. The separated seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock has re-emerged as a highly desired vintage design trait, offering a cleaner main dial, balanced symmetry, and a distinctly nostalgic mechanical feel. Furthermore, the front-loading hermetic case design—indicated by the "USE ALL PROOF 1200 WRENCH" caseback stamp—required a specialized tool to access the movement through the crystal. This engineering drastically improved water and dust resistance, meaning the mechanical integrity of these specific models is often exceptionally well-preserved over the decades.
All watch purchases from Arrows Vintage Watches include a 48-hour return window. If you’re not fully satisfied, you may return the watch at your expense using the same insured shipping method it was sent with, and in the same condition it was received. Once the watch is returned and inspected, refunds will be issued within 7 days via the original payment method.
All returns and cancellations will be charged a restocking fee around 3% of the total item price. This is the cost of using a payment processor on the site.
