This vintage Aster 17 Jewel Incabloc is a striking blend of craftsmanship and creativity — a true statement piece from the golden age of Swiss design. The standout feature is its wood-painted dial, a warm, organic texture that pairs beautifully with the gold-tone Roman numerals and elegant baton hands. The dial’s finish gives the watch a sophisticated yet distinctly vintage character, making it both elegant and a touch avant-garde.
The gold-colored mesh bracelet complements the dial perfectly, giving the piece a sleek, cohesive look with just the right amount of retro flair. The watch remains in exceptionally clean, near NOS (New Old Stock) condition, a rare find for a timepiece of this era.
Inside beats a 17-jewel Swiss manual-wind movement equipped with Incabloc shock protection, ensuring durability and precision — a hallmark of mid-century Swiss engineering.
The Aster brand, while lesser-known today, was part of a generation of Swiss makers that produced high-quality watches for export markets during the 1960s and 1970s. These brands often experimented with unique dials, case designs, and color treatments, making their creations stand out among more conservative Swiss competitors.
With its wood-grain dial, Roman numeral layout, and gold mesh bracelet, this Aster captures the creative spirit of its time — a watch that’s both elegant and daring, and an easy standout in any vintage collection.
