Scarce Gruen "Precision 21" men's Retro Modern design wristwatch in 10K white gold fill, circa 1953.

Gruen had difficulty obtaining movements from Switzerland during World War II, and after the war began making movements at its Time Hill factory in Cincinnati, Ohio. This model was part of Gruen's "21" line of 21-jewel wristwatches, and has a sharply angled and stepped case with a patterned black finish dial to match the case lines. It is a scarce model and this is only the second example I have ever offered. It is in excellent condition with no brassing, only a few light marks to the case. Caseback is excellent and unengraved. Case measures 39mm long and 27mm wide. Original black nickel finish dial is excellent. Acrylic crystal is excellent. The watch is powered by its correct 21-jewel Gruen grade 335 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
