This vintage Gruen Precision model is a notable French-made timepiece, as signed on the dial and powered by the manual-wind Caliber 515SS movement. The stainless steel case features distinctive faceted lugs and a screw-down back engraved with “Anti-Magnetic” and “Water and Shock Resistant” properties. Its silvered dial, which shows an even patina, has a combination of printed Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9, and applied baton indices for the remaining hours. The watch is fitted with lumed dauphine hands and is presented on a brown reptile-grain leather strap.

Overview

In the mid-20th century, Gruen, like many other firms, navigated a complex global landscape of trade and manufacturing. For a time, this led them to produce watches in France, leveraging the country’s skilled watchmakers to create pieces for the European and American markets. This watch is a fantastic product of that era, marked “France” at the base of its dial and powered by the robust, French-made Caliber 515SS. The “Precision” moniker, coupled with a sturdy, screw-down caseback proclaiming its water-resistant, shock-resistant, and anti-magnetic properties, tells you this was built not as a piece of jewelry, but as a reliable, everyday tool.

This specific example is a true gem for the enthusiast who appreciates character. The dial features a highly legible, military-inspired layout with bold Arabic numerals at 12, 3, and 6 o’clock. The sharp, dauphine handset was originally filled with radium lume, a detail that has contributed to the watch’s incredible aging process over the past sixty-plus years.
