Watch Description

The watch has a rectangular case with blue time hands and crown. The movement is a 15 jewel, 6AF with a triangle symbol mark which places its production within the 1926 to 1936 range. The case serial number is 6508093 which leads me to believe this is closer to a 1926 Baroness rather than later models.

The hour digits are inlaid in to the watch face and not painted on. The center of the watch face features an inlaid Boluva logo which is surrounded by an engraved rectangle embellishment in the center of the watch face. The rectangular embellishment contains hour markers and with the most prominent ones being on the 11-1 and 5-7 hours.

Nice one. thanks for sharing it with us. Based on movement date stamp and serial number, I think you are correct.

Dear Vejdav, you’re watching a beautiful Baroness. Two questions: do I see an arrow stamped the movement next to the word “Swiss”? What is the movement serial number? Thanks!
