Waltham Self-Winding
More actions
The Waltham Self-Winding is a 1970s automatic wristwatch sold under the Waltham name after the original Waltham Watch Company (the 1850 Massachusetts pioneer of factory watchmaking) ended domestic production in 1957 and the brand passed to importers of Swiss-made watches. (Wikipedia) Dials carry the Self-Winding designation with a 25-jewel Swiss movement; documented examples use A. Schild ébauches with Incabloc shock protection, in steel- and gold-tone cases with and without a day-date window. (Montgomery Watch Co.; Vintage Watch Restoration) Vintage dealers know the steel version on a Speidel Twist-O-Flex expansion band as the "Dexter watch" after its eight-season run on Michael C. Hall's wrist in Dexter (a crew member reportedly confirmed the prop to a collector), and screen-matched examples now trade well above what a 1970s import-era Waltham would otherwise bring.
