This eBay watch roundup focuses on vintage character: a warm Favre Leuba chronograph, a crisp Grand Seiko dress watch, a compact Wittnauer with an octagonal case, a classic Seiko 6309 diver, a bright Longines mystery dial and a Japanese-market Seiko LordMatic Special.
Favre Leuba chronograph with a chocolate dial
The Favre Leuba chronograph stands out for its combination of a gold-plated cushion case and a rich brown dial. The case measures 35mm and is described as being in excellent condition, with defined edges, its original brushed finish and a stainless steel back.
The caseback carries the Favre Leuba hourglass logo, and the signed crown repeats the same branding. On the dial, gold hands and applied gold hour markers sit over a chocolate tone, with matching brown subdials and red accents on the register at 3 o’clock.
Inside is a Valjoux 23 manual-wind chronograph movement. According to the seller, the movement is clean and the watch runs well.
Grand Seiko 4522-8000 from 1968
The Grand Seiko 4522-8000 is a 36mm steel hi-beat dress watch that shows the brand’s Grammar of Design approach: broad flat surfaces, sharp edges and a mix of brushed and polished finishing. The example described is unpolished, an important point because polishing can soften the geometry that defines this case style.
The gold GS medallion on the caseback is reported to be free of wear, and the serial number dates the watch to November 1968. The silver dial has aged to a mellow patina, paired with faceted applied steel markers, steel dauphine hands and a date window at 3 o’clock.
The signed GS crown is present. The watch uses the Seiko caliber 4522A manual-wind movement, which the seller describes as clean and running well.
Octagonal vintage Wittnauer
The Wittnauer is a smaller vintage piece with a steel octagonal case. The seller does not list the size, though the source estimate places it around 33mm to 34mm, with a recommendation to confirm measurements before bidding.
Its silver dial has a textured quadrant layout and keeps a balanced look thanks to slim markers, slim hands and the absence of a date window. The crown is signed with the Wittnauer W logo.
No movement photos are included, but the seller says the watch runs well. For collectors looking at vintage watches from established brands, this one is presented as a potentially approachable option.
Seiko 6309-7049 Turtle diver
The Seiko 6309-7049 is one of the standout vintage divers in the group. It has a 44mm cushion case with its original brushed finish, sharp edges and the correct recessed crown at 4 o’clock.
The original elapsed-time bezel shows only a few scratches. The dial is also described as original and in excellent condition. This example has the non-Suwa dial layout, with no Suwa factory symbol and longer text at the bottom edge of the dial.
The hands are described as mint, with no black discoloration, and the dial lume appears clean. It is fitted to an Uncle Seiko aftermarket bracelet. The seller reports that the movement is clean and running well.
Longines Comet mystery dial
The Longines Comet is the most visually unusual watch in the selection. It uses a vertical rectangular steel case and a bright yellow-and-black mystery dial with a bullseye-style layout.
The time display relies on rotating discs rather than conventional hands. A stationary ring carries the hour markers, the outer rotating ring uses a dot to indicate the minutes, and the inner rotating disc has a large white arrow for the hour.
The crown is correctly signed with the Longines logo, and the watch comes on its original Longines-signed bracelet. No movement photos are provided, but the seller states that the watch runs well. The model is described as scarce and not commonly seen for sale.
Seiko LordMatic Special 5206-6110
The final Seiko in the roundup is a LordMatic Special 5206-6110. The LordMatic line sat below King Seiko as a higher-end sporty dress range, and this example shows why the series attracts attention.
The case has sharp lines and hidden lugs with curved edges at the top and bottom. The two-tone silver dial uses a shinier outer track, giving the dial extra contrast. A day-date display includes a Kanji day wheel, identifying it as a Japanese domestic market release.
The watch is paired with a narrow beads-of-rice-style bracelet and an LM-signed buckle. Its automatic movement is described by the seller as clean and running well.
What ties these finds together
Across the group, originality and condition are the recurring themes. The Grand Seiko is notable for its unpolished case, the Seiko 6309 for its original components, the Longines for its uncommon mystery dial execution, and the Favre Leuba for its warm dial and respected chronograph movement.
As with any vintage watch listing, details such as case dimensions, movement photos, service history and originality should be confirmed directly when they are not fully documented in the listing.
