1930s Cyma Sport Clamshell Tank Watch

Like a real tank, but more elegant.

ABOUT THIS WATCH

Reasons why I love this piece:

-Cyma is an outstanding brand with a rich horological history including supplying watches to the British Ministry of Defense.

-The stainless steel Schmitz tank style clamshell case is the absolute perfect size for a rectangular watch at 40mm lug to lug.

-The brushed finish Art Deco style dial is a knockout.

-It’s double signed by Paul Bjerke in Oslo, Norway currently operating as Bjerke, a reputable authorized dealer of the finest watches and jewelry.

-It’s in NOS condition. This watch has probably never been worn in public and its only blemishes on the case are most likely from improper storage. The radium lume is perfect and the only mark on the dial is a radium burn from the hour hand sitting at 10:00 for several decades. The factory original black suede strap is untouched with its original blank price tag.

-It’s on a brand new rivet bracelet! I did that. I love rivet bracelets.
