Nino Swiss 17 Jewels Date [35mm]

A quietly elegant vintage piece from the golden age of Swiss watchmaking, this Nino 17 Jewels wristwatch represents a lesser-known but well-built corner of the mechanical watch world. With its squared tonneau case and honest patina, this is a time capsule from the 1970s—back when even offbeat brands were producing quality timepieces.

The aged champagne dial features bold, faceted indices and thick baton hands, giving the watch a masculine presence despite its modest proportions. A framed date window at 3 o'clock with a red numeral adds a subtle but satisfying visual accent. The watch is powered by a 17-jewel manually wound movement, and the dial clearly states its “Shockprotected” credentials, a mark of functional reliability from its era.

Its caseback confirms full stainless steel construction and Swiss origin, while the original branding remains intact and sharp across both the dial and screw-down caseback. The 36mm case wears with vintage charm and is paired with a fresh 18mm black strap to balance its worn-in character.

A great entry point into Swiss vintage collecting—or an affordable daily-wear piece with real heritage.
