This vintage Proctor’s “Gold Medal” wristwatch features a robust 17-jewel movement with antimagnetic protection and an Incabloc shock-resistant system—hallmarks of mid-20th-century Swiss watch engineering. Its dial is accented by a striking red-tipped seconds hand, adding a subtle pop of color to its otherwise classic design.
Proctor’s was a lesser-known but respected Swiss watch brand, producing well-made timepieces often using reliable ébauche movements and marketed for durability and precision. Watches like this were aimed at buyers seeking Swiss quality without the prestige pricing of luxury names, making them excellent value both then and now.
This example runs well by vintage standards and remains a stylish, dependable choice for collectors or anyone wanting a unique, well-built vintage watch.
