Bold, sculptural, and unmistakably retro, this vintage Criterion Calendar watch captures the spirit of 1970s design. The wide, brushed gold-tone bezel surrounds a deep blue dial with chunky applied indices and a bright red-framed date window. Its oversized oval case and sunburst dial layout make it a standout piece in any vintage collection. Criterion was one of many export-focused brands that brought mechanical watchmaking to a broader market during the mid-20th century, often with striking case designs and colorful dial executions.
This is a stylish example of accessible mechanical watchmaking from a truly expressive design era.
