Points of Mention

This watch is sold as "Watch Only" and therefore comes with no Gucci box or paperwork. The watch comes paired on a well-suited black strap. The watch is from Circa. Late 1990s and is sold in worn condition, but overall fair with signs of wear seen throughout. The watch comes with our 12-Months Non-Waterproof Warranty.


The Watch

Guccio Gucci founded the House of Gucci in Florence in 1906. In 1938, Gucci opened his first boutique in Rome. Guccio's death in 1953, left the business to his son, Aldo. He quickly expanded the company by opening more boutiques in New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo. Gucci continued as one of the largest luxury goods retailers until the late 1970s when a string of bad business decisions led the company to the brink of bankruptcy. To try to recapture their past success in 1997 they launched Gucci watches which have grown continuously with their work ethic of high technical precision and an eye for a great design, granted, not all to our taste but some definitely are lovely.

Here we have a classic 1990s Gucci "Tank" Swiss Quartz 4200M. The 24.5mm gold plated “Tank” case has elegant lines and rounded corners. A lug to lug length of 32mm and a thickness of just 5mm ensures a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side, a signed crown. The stepped bezel has Roman numerals engraved into it marking the hours. At 12 o’clock a Gucci motif. A flat crystal sits above a black sterile dial. Elegant gold plated dauphine hands complete this stylish dial. On the reverse, a snap-off case back. Inside an ETA Quartz 980 003. The watch comes fitted on an 18mm leather strap.


Personal Note

I can already hear some people looking at this going "Why has KibbleWatches got a Gucci?" Let me tell you that this is an impressively made watch for the money, using a commonly used ETA Quartz movement and an overall design that is definitely inspired by the "Tank" but done with Gucci's design.
