Waltham Dual Crown Calendar Watch
Waltham Dual Crown Calendar Watch
You’ve probably seen dual crown compressor dive watches before, but have you ever seen a watch built in that style not to measure months not minutes?!
Neither have we. This Waltham packs a neat punch in a vibrant orange diver dial, huge shimmering raised hour markers, bold black bezel, and day + date + month calendar functions.
Truly a seldom seem design in nice, honest overall condition.
For the record:
The month is changed freely by rotating the top crown in either direction.
The date is changed by pulling the lower crown ALL the way out, and rotating in either direction to advance or retreat the date. The time setting position on this watch is actually the middle crown setting, which is not traditionally the case.
The day is changed manually by rotating the hands clockwise until the wheel progresses to the desired day of the week.

[All vintage watches are expected to function as described. However, due to age and generally unknown service history (unless otherwise stated), these watches may not keep time as accurately as new or quartz (battery) watches. This is completely normal and does not indicate that there is a major problem. Like your automobile, all mechanical watches will likely need to be serviced at some point in time. Please keep this in mind, as there is no guarantee regarding when these vintage watches may need standard maintenance. Every watch sold by Buying On Time is done so with the expectation that it is not currently in need of service or repair, unless noted. We guarantee that all watches sold are accurately described and in the stated condition when they leave our hands.]
