Gold-Plated Full Hunter with its Original Albert Chain, c.1965

Halcon was a Spanish watch house from Badajoz (Extremadura) that assembled quality Swiss movements into their own cases for the Spanish market during the 1960s and 1970s. The movement inside is almost certainly the Unitas 6431/6445 - a reliable 17-jewel manual wind calibre with Incabloc shock protection, a proven workhorse of the era.

The gold-plated full hunter case measures 50mm and presents well, with engine-turned texture to both covers and a decorative engraved cartouche on the inner caseback. The white lacquer dial is clean and unmarked, with bold Arabic numerals and a sub-seconds register at 6 o'clock. The movement winds smoothly and the crown pulls up cleanly to set the time. Running well.

Supplied with a matching gold-tone Albert chain - a complete, ready-to-use set at an accessible price point.
