What's the oldest watch you have? And why?

I sold a variety of Swiss and non-swiss brands for a long time when I worked as a jeweller. At the same time, I developed an interest in antique jewellery and watches.

So whether is cheap or expensive, working or not, 5 years old or 100+ years old, what's the oldest watch you own? Is it a sentimental piece or something you purchased because of its model?

Just hoping to find out about some more different watches out there!

My Uncle gave my dad a Seiko for his 40th birthday. He’d be 70 this year. So 30 years old.

Not really “worth” anything since it’s a simple quartz, but it’s a really nice watch. He didn’t wear watches so I just took it and wore it throughout college. Don’t wear it anymore since I’ve since I started buying my own watches and now wear a sub as my daily, so it sits in the box I keep my important stuff.

But I love that watch. I should wear it more…
