Note:. Solar was the in-house watch brand of the Canadian Eaton department a chain that existed in Canada for over a century. Many Solar watches used Rolex movements and / or oyster cases. Some Solar watches can be found sporting the “Tudor” name as well. Rolex and Eaton had a unique relationship, primarily due to the unusual situation of Rolex Canada being a relatively autonomous company from Rolex in Geneva.

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.
