A bold and distinctly vintage wristwatch from Westclox, this piece features a striking deep blue sunburst dial paired with chunky silver-tone indices and baton hands. The cushion-style case hints at the design sensibilities of the 1970s, with a combination of sharp edges and rounded curves that give it presence on the wrist without being overwhelming.
What makes this particular Westclox stand out is the way its metallic blue dial plays with the light—offering flashes of navy and cobalt depending on the angle. The white date window at 3 o'clock is framed cleanly, and the hour markers carry a reassuring weight. While Westclox is better known for clocks, their mechanical wristwatches like this one remain relatively uncommon—especially in automatic variants with 17-jewel movements.
The stainless steel case back and new leather strap make it a comfortable daily wear. It's a no-fuss, durable vintage piece with a surprisingly handsome face.
