A beautifully preserved Swiss-made Waltham dress watch, showcasing the elegant Roman-numeral aesthetics and refined case shapes that defined early-80s European design. Waltham produced a number of these high-quality quartz dress pieces during this era, and they’ve since gained a quiet following among collectors who appreciate clean, understated styling.
This reference 26605 features a crisp white Roman dial with a unique inner minute track that gives the watch real depth and visual interest. The slim black hands pair perfectly with the dial layout, creating a classic and highly legible design that feels timeless on the wrist.
The standout here is the ceramic case, which has excellent scratch resistance and retains its sheen far better than standard plated cases of the same era. Its faceted, cushion-inspired shape gives the watch a strong presence while still remaining refined and elegant.
Powered by a Swiss quartz movement, it offers the accuracy and reliability you expect from Swiss manufacture with the convenience of simple, worry-free ownership. The watch is fitted with a brand-new leather strap to complete the look.
A great choice if you’re after a vintage Swiss dress watch with clean design, excellent wearability, and a case style that sets it apart from typical round models of the era.
