This vintage Jubilee 17-jewel automatic wristwatch features a bold gold-filled cushion-style case that wears comfortably on the wrist while offering a distinctive mid-century look. Powered by a Swiss-made Caliber 2451 automatic movement, it delivers the self-winding reliability that defined postwar Swiss innovation. A new leather band has been fitted, and the watch is running well by vintage standards.
The Jubilee name was used by a number of small Swiss manufacturers during the mid-20th century, often for export markets such as North America. These watches typically housed solid Swiss movements—like the ETA-based 2451 seen here—and were frequently sold through independent jewelers or catalog retailers. While the brand may not have the name recognition of Omega or Longines, Jubilee watches were part of the great wave of democratized Swiss watchmaking that brought mechanical timepieces to a wide audience.
This piece is a fine example of that legacy: practical, attractive, and built to last. The cushion case gives it a vintage-modern feel, and its automatic movement ensures convenience for daily wear. Ideal for collectors looking for understated quality and value with a touch of gold-filled flair.
