Note: The watch case & movement were manufactured by TEVO Watch Co for Bucherer to be marketed under the Bucherer name. This was very common for many Bucherer watches dating to the 1940’s - 1950’s.

Please Note: While this watch was waterproof rated when originally produced, gaskets and seals wear out over time. Consequently, we do not guarantee that this watch retains its original waterproof rating. It would be best to have a watchmaker check all the gaskets and seals before subjecting it to water or high humidity conditions.
