Sovranos Vintage – 1940s/1950s – Small Seconds

Distinctive vintage Sovranos from the 1940s/1950s, featuring an elegant gilt dial with elongated Arabic numerals and small seconds at 6 o’clock. The round case, enhanced by the original shaped lugs, and the strongly domed crystal lend the watch a pronounced vintage character. The Sovranos name belongs to that historic constellation of minor brands widespread after World War II, which purchased robust movements from major caliber suppliers (such as ETA, AS or FHF) and then customized the dials.
