Here is a very neat vintage Swiss automatic wristwatch by Itraco. We believe it to be from the 1970s.
The Swiss automatic movement is caliber ETA 2789-1, featuring 25 jewels, and is antimagnetic, waterproof, and incablock. It has a sweep second and a double-language day/date indicator.
The dial is a very pretty two-tone blue that fades from a medium blue to a deep navy-blue. It has a double-language day display at 3 o'clock while all the remaining indices are faceted baton indices with luminous dots below each. The silver baton-shaped hour and minute hands are luminous, with a silver sweep second. The dial is signed Itraco, Automatic, 25 Jewels, Waterproof, Incablock, Swiss made, all in white with a white minute track.
It comes on a double-folding silver bracelet in very nice condition.
This is a very neat retro-looking vintage wristwatch by Itraco in great condition, keeping excellent time!

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended. Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
