1960s CYMA Executive Automatic 'Bow Tie' 32mm
Here, we have a 1950s CYMA Executive "Bow Tie" R485 with a 32mm stainless steel case. The case has a very rare and distinctive shape with “Bow tie” lugs that make the watch wear larger than its 32mm dimensions would suggest. A lug-to-lug length of 40mm and a thickness of 10.5mm will ensure a comfortable fit on the wrist. A stepped smooth bezel holds a domed crystal above a sunburst silver dial. Long bevel-edged baton indexes at 12, 6, and 9 and lines and Tritium pips in between mark the hours. At 3 o’clock, a framed date window. Slender sword hands with Tritium fill are complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand. The text is minimalist with a Cyma motif at 12. On the reverse, a screw-down case back, inside an automatic CYMA Cal. R485.2, 27 jewels, 18,000 beats per hour. It comes with a well-suited 18mm suede strap that sits snugly between the “Bow Tie” points.
