For sale is a historically significant and exceptionally stylish Vintage Croton Aquamedico, a classic "Doctor's Watch" with direct ties to the World War II era. This timepiece is a fantastic example of 1940s purpose built design, blending the elegant, rectangular aesthetics of the Art Deco period with the durable functionality required by professionals in the field. This watch is defined by its early water proofed rectangular "tank" case, a hallmark of sophisticated 1940s design. The dial is the star of the show, featuring a stunning, dark two-tone finish that has aged to a beautiful and unique patina. The lumed Arabic numerals and matching hands create a warm, striking contrast against the dark background. This high-contrast, high-legibility layout, complete with a full outer minute/seconds track and a center seconds hand, was not just a style choice; it was a critical function for its "Medico" purpose, allowing medical professionals to time a patient's pulse accurately. **Key Features** * **Brand:** Croton * **Model:** Aquamedico * **Era:** c. 1940s (WWII Era) * **Case:** Multi-stepped rectangular "tank" style case * **Hands:** Original lumed syringe hands * **Size:** 24×37mm including lugs * **Movement:** Manual Wind Mechanical * **Special Feature:** "Doctor's Watch" high-legibility dial with center seconds hand * **Brand Heritage:** Croton was the American distributer for Nivada Grenchen Please reach out if you want to see this or any other watch over FaceTime.
