Help Identify please! Vintage 25mm Watch

Hello All!

I found this vintage ladies watch among inheritances. My guess it is from the
20s.

Is there somebody here who can help me identify this watch and what is a
reasonable price for it?

Many thanks,

Norbert

Based on your photos, it looks like a Cal. 83 from the first half of the 20th
century. I seem to recall a photo of some catalog pages with the various
iterations of this dial, but I can't seem to find it now.

If you can, post some pictures with the back off.

BTW, discussion of prices or values is not permitted on the Forum.

Many thanks for your help and sorry for asking about price - I didn't know it
was not allowed.

I don't have a picture with the back taken off, I think it is better to do it
by someone qualified.

What I noticed that the watch is working perfectly for a few hours, after
that, its getting late.

Also, I showed it to some of my friends and they asked if it is a mens watch -
it has a diameter 25 mm and I read vintage watches used to be much smaller.

Do you think it can be wear by a man? It indeed has a masculine look apart
from the size.

Sorry for my dumb questions.

Hi Norbert and Allan,

it cannot be a Cal. 83. The diameter of a Cal. 83 is 26.7 mm for the movement
only. Could be a movement if Cal 9x. For more details we need to have the
movement number which implies to open the Caseback.

Thanks a lot for your help.

This watch is mysterios. I was pretty sure it is a Cal 83 - Portoguese from
1941 because the dial is identificial, but indeed, it was much larger.

I will take this watch to a local watch specialist and we will see the
backside.

So, I took the watch to a clocksmith. Here are the pictures. Any idea about
it?

Thanks a lot!

Ahhhhh - here we go

from my point of view your watch is based on a Caliber 62 that was built in
1941.

Cal. 62 was produced from 1938 to 1942 in 13800 pieces. The diameter of the
movement is 23,35mm and the height 3.65mm. It comes with 15 or 16 jewels and
has a frequency of 18000 amplitudes (ticks) per hour. As all "good"
movements from that era it comes with a Breguet type overcoil hairspring.
There is no schock asorbing assembly on the balance staff, so please don't
drop the watch it will easily break the balance staff pivots.

The Nuber in the case back states that the case was delivered around 1943.
