The Watch

Here is a classic 1980s Dunhill .925 Silver Blue Dial "Vendôme" Quartz with a 33mm polished .925 Sterling Silver / Gold Plated round case. The screwed T Bar lugs are secured in the centre by a screw, creating a pleasing jewellery fitting. A lug-to-lug length of 40.5mm and a case thickness of just 6.5mm ensures a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side, a black cabochon crown with fine knurling for grip. The thin-stepped smooth bezel holds a chamfer-edged flat crystal above a stunning blue denim-coloured inner circle with a white outer ring and attractive radiating large Roman numeral hour markers; gold-plated stick hands sit majestically in the centre; at 12 o’clock, we have the Dunhill motif completing this sophisticated dress watch. On the reverse, a polished .925 Sterling Silver / Gold Plated snap-off case back is stamped with the Swiss hallmarks and details of the watch around its edge, inside a quality Swiss Quartz movement. It comes paired with its 18mm leather strap and hallmarked .925 Sterling Silver / Gold Plated pin buckle, and its original Dunhill presentation box.

Personal Note

This is a wonderful and rarely seen blue dial Dunhill, a brand often overlooked yet with a deep history. I have called this the Dunhill "Vendôme" for apparent reasons, but it also stands strong on its own merits, featuring a solid .925 sterling silver case and buckle, both gold plated, which contrasts against the printed dial emulating a blue stone beautifully. I would not hesitate to snap this up whilst it is available!
