Nice Cortebert watches are hard to come by. By nice I mean clean, running watches with decent power reserve and basically pristine backs (i.e., no names or whatever etched at the back). This is what I might call "nice enough" as it runs well and keeps time and the patina on the dial is rather acceptable.

| This watch has no day or date features |
 |
| Case back stating the watch to be waterproof and having anti-magnetic features. Incabloc refers to the shock resistance of movements of the same release period as this watch. |

 |
| The movement, which is signed, is a Caliber 689. The movement runs at 18,000 A/h and dates it to the mid 1940s and onwards. |

| This is a gold-plated watch |

| The obligatory wrist shot |
I've been acquiring and unloading vintage watches for and from my collection. This one's in the gray zone in as far as I am concerned. I use it from time to time but only at the office for a few hours at a time. I don't mind selling this but it was an interesting acquisition together with another Cortebert, one with Roman numeral indices, that is now worn on another person's wrist.
