Tourist Oyster
"A design icon from the 50s"
1950s
The fluted bezel was first seen on the Rolex Oyster which was released in 1926. This watch was the first waterproof wristwatch, and this was made possible thanks to the Oyster case structure which hermetically sealed the case. This type of clasp is also used in this watch.
The Tourist brand was produced by the Ad. Allemann Son Watch Factory of Welschenrohr, Switzerland, in the 1950s. One important product was the Tourist Everlight, the first wrist watch with an integrated electric light. It included an incandescent lamp bulb at 12:00 that could shine on the dial. A plastic ring helped distribute the light around the dial. The battery was charged using a port at 2:00, above the crown. Another novel Tourist model was the 1962 Tourist Radio-Top which included dead beat central seconds. Tourist also created a dual movement dual time watch in the 1960s. The brand does not appear to have lasted past the 1960s.

5 Reasons for Vintage
Watches that only a few wearReason Nr. 1Nowadays, many high-quality watches are mass-produced. Vintage watches were often made in very small series with skilled craftsmanship instead of robots.
Quality that endures generationsReason Nr. 2In earlier eras, watches were designed to last forever, including the components.ย There is no such thing as obsolescence. That is what we consider quality at Zurichberg.
Polarizing and characteristic designsReason Nr. 3Today, only a few watch manufacturers can afford to launch polarising products and therefore produce watches that are aesthetically pleasing to all.
Value for MoneyReason Nr. 4Vintage watches are overall cheaper than new watches. This is because new watches fulfill the essential financial objectives for the manufacturers, whereas vintage watches are financially "depreciated", so to speak.
Longevity that feels greatReason Nr. 5We believe that in order to move towards a more sustainable future, it is absolutely necessary and logical to develop a sense for the quality of the past and to reuse products instead of producing new ones.
