DAVOSA WATCHES

Davosa Watches

Davosa Watches represents the culmination of more than 90 years of Swiss watchmaking tradition. While the Davosa name has only been in use since 1993, the business is a family-owned firm dating back to 1917. The company's products have earned the respect of watch fanciers the world over, especially the Davosa Panamericana series which is already a modern classic.

Today Davosa's line includes tasteful, mature designs with a traditional air that many collectors find appealing. The Davosa style can be seen by examining a few exemplary pieces.

The Men's Classic Triple Date Automatic Watch has a tasteful, reserved face with a wide, round dial. The bezel is narrow and made of gleaming stainless steel, the strap handsome stitched leather. There is a conservative look to the large, plain Arabic numerals and narrow hands.

The Ternos Diver's Watch has a dark dial with large, geometric non-numerical hour markers. The bezel is crenulated and has five-second marks. There is a date window with a tiny magnifier cut into the crystal above it. The hands are wide and luminous for easy visibility. The links of the metal bracelet are rounded, as are the strap lugs. There is also a chronograph version of this watch.

The Simplex Day-Date Automatic Watch has a polished, undecorated bezel surrounding a round, dark dial with large hour markers. In this case, the hourmarkers have oversized Arabic numerals and the hands are wide. The date window is at the 3 position and the name of the day appears in the 12 position.

The Quinn Automatic Watch uses the mellow glow of rose gold plating for the bezel, hour markers and hands. The colour goes nicely with the brown leather strap, forming a harmonious colour mix. The watch has a delightfully retro look, as if it had come from the 1930s or '40s.

The Moonphase Automatic Chronograph Watch has a four-hand arrangement in which the fourth hand shows the date on a scale running around the outer edge of the dial. A bezel of brushed steel surrounds a dual-dial face with a moon phase indicator in the lower part of the dial. There are also windows for the day and month.

The Argonaut Diver's Watch has a dark dial with a crenulated bezel of blackened steel. There are five-second markers on the bezel with big, luminous hourmarkers and wide hands.

These examples show the strong, handsome style of Davosa and the commitment to quality that fills every piece they make.
