Found this 60's or 70's Volvo watch today. Swiss made but can find no more about it. Not working....

It looks more like a 20s or 30s watch to my eyes.

That was my original thought. It has the correct shape to be Deco. It has a stainless "elasticated" strap and brass body.
Any information would be most welcome. An internet search does not come up with anything like it... _________________ Alistair

Well, the Incabloc shock protection system was invented in 1934, so at the earliest the watch is going to date from the late 1930s. It looks 1950s to me, but I'm no expert ... _________________ in the garage: 1938 Talbot Ten Airline

I have sent an email to the Volvo museum in Göteborg.
It will be interesting if I get a reply... _________________ Alistair
