Do you have eyeballs? If your answer is yes, then this watch is for you. The "Airmaster" (model 307-345) has the masculine, no-frills, classic design that Titoni is known for. But, I updated this one out to make it STAND OUT. The boring original dial has been meticulously hand-repainted in green by my micro-painter in India. The signature Titoni single diamond is still there, of course. I added a Hirsch 18mm green leather strap, which I found in Sweden at my favorite watch strap outlet in the world—Urhandel Bernhard Huke in Malmö. (Other colors available in product variations.)
It's definitely a conversation starter. People notice when you're wearing it. Someone mentions it every single time I wear it out of the house.
Titoni was founded in Grenchen, Switzerland in 1919. At only 100 years old, Titoni could be considered one of the "newer" Swiss watch brands—since they weren't founded in the 1700s or 1800s. They're well known for classic designs and cutting-edge mechanical movements. Titoni has been wildly successful in South and East Asia, where they're on par with prestige brands like Omega, Tag Heuer, and Breitling. They're extremely rare in Western Europe and the Americas, as the company chose not to compete in those markets. (I bought this one in India.)
The 25 jewel ETA 2462 automatic movement was made to work without requiring any winding. However, I find that this watch works better when I wind it. I suggest treating it like a winding watch—wind it daily. The caseback says it's waterproof. Never assume a vintage watch is waterproof. Keep it away from water.
Every piece of this watch has been fully disassembled, cleaned, inspected, cleaned, reassembled, and calibrated by our master watchmaker. The internal mechanical movement is covered by my 6-month mechanical warranty.
It is in good, used condition. There is some light patina on the hands. This watch shows general signs of wear commensurate with age and use, including scratches to the rear caseback. The crystal is in excellent condition, without any cracks or damage. The green leather band is in good used condition. It doesn't have any cracks or scratches, but has clearly been gently used. Inspect my high-resolution photos carefully to make sure the condition is up to your standards.

Customer privacy is important to my business. Ideally I would like to NEVER share anyone's information, ever. But, it turns out that I may need to share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

I have watchbands in many different styles, colors and materials. If you love the watch but want a different color band, send me a message. I'll see if I have the color you want in my inventory. If I don't, you can swap out the band for any strap you'd like by buying one online or taking it to your local jeweler or watch repair store.
Does my watch need a battery?
It depends on the watch.
1) Mechanical (hand-winding): These watches use a spring and gears to run. There is no battery. You must wind the watch once daily for it to keep running. Most of my watches are this kind.
2) Mechanical (automatic/kinetic): These use a spring and gears as well as a swinging pendulum that rotates as you move throughout the day. It winds itself. You don't need a battery and you don't need to wind it.
3) Quartz: These use batteries. Your watch will include a brand new battery. They can last anywhere from six months to a few years, depending on the watch.I changed my mind! Can I cancel my order and get a full refund?
We don't accept cancellations for a refund. Instead, we offer you store credit which you can use on any of our other items. This store credit is good for one year.
Will the vintage watchband fit me?
Use a measuring tape to measure around your wrist.
All my detailed descriptions include the max wrist size of the bracelet. Bracelets are standardized. They're not an integral part of the watch itself. It's easy to change the band.
NOTE: YOU CAN NOT RETURN THE WATCH BECAUSE THE BRACELET IS THE WRONG SIZE. You're paying for the watch itself—the bracelet is basically free.How do I return an item?
Contact us and we will guide you through the process. Note that the paperwork, documents, packaging, photographs, cards, and anything else in the package MUST be returned in the condition which we sent them to you in. If anything is missing or damaged we will deduct the value of those items from your refund.
Bigger/Smaller Bracelets?
The bracelet (aka band or strap) is usually NOT an integral part of the "watch" itself. It's normal (and somewhat expected) that you'll have a jeweler adjust the band to fit you, or replace the band with one that you can try on in person. Watchbands are standardized and available from any jeweler, watch shop, and online.
NOTE: YOU CAN NOT RETURN THE WATCH BECAUSE THE BRACELET IS THE WRONG SIZE. You're paying for the watch itself—the bracelet is basically free.What do I do if the bracelet isn't the right size?
YOU CAN NOT RETURN THE WATCH BECAUSE THE BRACELET IS THE WRONG SIZE. You're paying for the watch itself—the bracelet is basically free. The bracelet size is listed in the product description. And, any jeweler will adjust the bracelet/band size for you as needed.
A watch is like a ring or other fine piece of jewelry, in that you need to have a jeweler adjust it to fit your perfectly. This is expected and normal. You may even find that you want to replace the bracelet. Bracelets are not an integral part of the watch. They are interchangeable. They can be replaced easily—and quite inexpensively. You can do it yourself or have your local jeweler or watch repair shop do it for you.
