A complete Swiss full hunter of the 1960s or 1970s, running well, with a clean dial, and a gold-tone curb chain. Ready to wear or display.
Halcon was the house name of B.L. Álvarez Buiza of Badajoz, in Extremadura, used on Swiss-made watches sold in Spain. The movement is a Swiss Unitas 6498 with 17 jewels and Incabloc shock protection, its textured bridges signed SWISS, SEVENTEEN 17 JEWELS and UNADJUSTED.
The gold-plated full hunter case measures 50mm and presents well, with engine-turned texture and a blank shield cartouche on both covers, and a glazed inner back that shows the movement. 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 gold-tone curb chain.
