⌚ BERNHARD H. MAYER DEPUIS 1871 – SWISS MADE CHRONOGRAPH – REF. B1705 (Used)

Pre-owned Price 1250 AED

✨ DISTINCTIVE TONNEAU DESIGN • SWISS CHRONOGRAPH PRECISION

A striking pre-owned Bernhard H. Mayer Depuis 1871 Ref. B1705, featuring an elegant tonneau-shaped stainless-steel case, sophisticated silver dial and sporty chronograph layout.

The beautifully proportioned dial combines oversized Arabic numerals at 12, 8 and 4, contrasting dark chronograph sub-dials, fine minute-track detailing and a prominent big-date display at 6 o’clock. Chronograph pushers positioned beside the crown complete its refined sport-luxury character.

The dial is clearly signed “Bernhard H. Mayer – Depuis 1871” and “Swiss Made,” while the caseback confirms Reference B1705, Swiss manufacture and stainless-steel construction.

💎 COLLECTOR’S NOTE

The B1705 stands out through its architectural tonneau case, oversized numeral layout, contrasting chronograph registers and big-date complication. Its combination of Swiss-made construction and an unconventional rectangular sports-watch design gives it considerably more wrist presence than a conventional round chronograph.

Bernhard H. Mayer documentation from the period confirms the brand offered Swiss-made chronographs using Swiss quartz movements, including Ronda calibres, although the exact calibre of this B1705 should not be stated without inspecting the movement itself.
