Why We Love This Watch

A brand that once boasted having the biggest workshop in Europe in 1929, Cyma is one of many Swiss companies lost in the history of horology due to the "Quartz Crisis". Its sudden popularity among collectors was due to it being the affordable watch in the "Dirty Dozen" --a set of watches with specs published by the British Ministry of Defense around the early 1940s. Legend has it that the Dirty Dozen was supposed to be issued to World War II soldiers but by the time they were finished producing them, the war had ended, hence its popularity amongst collectors. There were also other notable brands who joined the Dirty Dozen stable such as Eterna, Jaeger LeCoultre, Lemania, Longines, IWC, and Omega, further proving how Cyma once stood amongst the shoulder of giants.

Among other things, Cyma has won numerous awards, including first prize in the Brussels' World Fair in 1910. Those awards were won most notably for the brand’s slim wrist watch creations,. This Cyma Cymaflex is a reflection of such achievements, as well as being one durable watch! With such a beautifully aged honeycomb dial and applied, gold-tone indices and hands, it's incredible that this Cymaflex has flown under-the-radar of most collectors!
