Gruen Model 72
Uncommon Gruen "Model 72" men's Streamline Modern design wristwatch in 14K white gold fill, circa 1930.
The "Model 72" has a small, streamline case with Art Deco engravings along the bezel sides. It was priced at $55.00 in 1930. It is a fairly uncommon model and this is the first I have offered in many years. It is in crisp, excellent condition with no brassing. Caseback is excellent and unengraved, with a few tiny dings. The case meaures 33mm long and 24mm wide. Has new glass crystal. Original inlaid enamel dial is very good, with some patina. The watch is powered by its correct Gruen Precision grade 115 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
