Hermann Becker Black Gold Bullseye 1950s Vintage Watch

Discover the allure of mid-20th-century German horology with this exceptional 1950s wristwatch from Hermann Becker KG, a renowned Pforzheim-based manufacturer founded in 1921 by watchmaker Hermann Becker. Specializing in high-quality watch cases and mechanical movements, the company built a legacy of precision engineering in the heart of Germany's watchmaking district, producing reliable timepieces that blended innovative design with robust functionality. Though Becker passed away in the early 1950s, his firm continued to thrive, crafting movements and components until its closure in 1979—making pieces like this a testament to postwar German craftsmanship.

This vintage Hermann Becker features a classic 36mm gold-plated case paired with a durable stainless steel caseback, offering a timeless silhouette suitable for everyday wear. The dial captivates with its striking black-and-gold bullseye pattern, accented by a subtle, gorgeous patina that adds authentic vintage character without detracting from its near-pristine, time-capsule condition. Powered by a reliable manual-wind movement (likely a HB 115 or similar caliber from the era, with 17 jewels for smooth operation), it maintains impressively accurate timekeeping, enhanced by responsive crown winding for effortless daily use. The caseback bears period engravings proclaiming "Shock-Resist" and "Super Waterproof Automatic" features—highlighting the watch's engineered resilience, even if the movement is manual-wind.

Completed with a premium black leather strap, this watch arrives in excellent overall condition, professionally serviced and ready to wear. A must-have for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a piece of Hermann Becker's storied heritage.
