Gevril Limited Edition Swiss Automatic
"The history of Gevril watches is a story that combines an illustrious watchmaking past with an innovative modern revitalization. The company origins date back to the mid-18th century and Jacques Gevril, the gifted Swiss watchmaker who is the founder and inspiration of the eponymous brand.
Today the Gevril name endures thanks to the vision of a Swiss horologist and businessman who lifted the brand to its current heights as an established Swiss watch company."
An incredibly sophisticated luxury wristwatch, this Gevril GV2 XO Submarine 44 Automatic is number 60 out of only 500 produced- a limited edition- coming in the original presentation box with the original tag and bracelet. High quality automatic rotary movement with 26 jewels, it is waterproof up to 10 ATM/100 M/330 FT and is all stainless steel.
The very handsome dial is a pretty navy blue that matches the navy blue unidirectional-rotating bezel and inner bezel. A date window is uniquely located between the 4 and 5 position round indices. The date is displayed in black numerals on a white background. The white indices are luminous round and pen-nib shaped and outlined in silver, with stick minute marks. The inner bezel shows the Arabic numerals which are also white. The sword hour and minute hands are silver and the Breguet silver sweep second is tipped in a bright red. All hands are luminous.
The watch face is round at 44.6mm sitting atop of a square, stepped, stainless-steel bezel. It features two crowns- the crown to set the time is located at the 3 positions and engraved with GV2 logo, and the second crown is located at the 4 position and is used to set the date.
The caseback features a very attractive, clean, exhibition window that shows the automatic rotor. The caseback is marked Limited Edition, Ref. 4542, Swiss Made, 060/500, 25 Jewels, XO, Submarine, Sellita SW 200, 316L (stainless-steel logo) and SC (sapphire crystal logo). The movement reads Gevril and 26- Twenty-Six Jewels Swiss Made.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended. Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have. It will be carefully packed.
