FILLOS 17 Rubis – Small Seconds – Antimagnetic – Swiss Mechanical – Chrome Plated – 1950s–1960s Manual Winding – 17 Jewels A characterful vintage FILLOS wristwatch featuring a striking black dial, small seconds complication and a Swiss 17-jewel hand-wound mechanical movement. With its classic proportions, domed acrylic crystal and beautifully aged appearance, this watch captures the unmistakable aesthetic of mid-20th-century Swiss watchmaking. The black dial is particularly attractive, combining Arabic numerals with fine minute markings and a decorative inner pattern. A subsidiary small seconds dial at 6 o’clock gives the watch a traditional mechanical character, while the inscriptions “FILLOS – 17 RUBIS” and “ANTIMAGNETIC” reinforce its period identity. Inside is a Swiss manual-winding mechanical movement marked “SWISS – 17 JEWELS”, a classic configuration for quality Swiss watches of this era.

The chrome-plated case shows scratches, marks and areas of plating wear, particularly around the lugs and case edges. The stainless steel case back presents normal surface scratches from previous use. The black dial displays an attractive age-related patina, with visible ageing to the numerals, markings and hands. These characteristics contribute significantly to the authentic appearance of the watch rather than giving it the appearance of a modern restoration. The domed acrylic crystal shows signs of normal use and age. The watch is fitted with a black leather strap. Water resistance has not been tested and is therefore not guaranteed. Please study all photos carefully, as they are part of the description and show the actual condition of the item. Story & Heritage This FILLOS represents a classic type of Swiss wristwatch produced during the golden period of post-war mechanical watchmaking, when numerous Swiss manufacturers offered reliable mechanical watches built around traditional hand-wound movements. Its 17-jewel Swiss movement is an important detail, reflecting the established construction standards of quality mechanical watches of the period. The antimagnetic designation on the dial also belongs to an era when resistance to magnetic fields became an increasingly valued practical feature in everyday wristwatches. Visually, the combination of the deep black dial, aged Arabic numerals, decorative inner pattern and separate small-seconds display gives this example considerably more personality than a conventional silver-dial dress watch. At approximately 32.5 mm, the case retains the elegant proportions typical of men's watches from the 1950s and early 1960s. Together with its mechanical movement and naturally aged dial, it offers the authentic character increasingly appreciated in original vintage watches. A charming and distinctive Swiss mechanical watch for collectors who appreciate small-seconds watches, black vintage dials and genuine mid-century design. Internal Reference Number - FLO-133
