Founded in the early 20th century, Vetta is an iconic Italian-Swiss brand that brought together the mechanical excellence of Swiss watchmaking and the refined taste of Italian design. Closely partnered with Wyler, Vetta became a leading name in Italy during the post-war decades, known for creating reliable and stylish timepieces with a strong identity.
This rare Vetta Silver Ref. 45042, dating from the 1960s, features a bold 39mm stainless steel case and a striking black dial—a rarity for the period—enhanced by warm, naturally aged tritium hands and markers. The contrast offers perfect legibility and a distinctive vintage charm. It comes as a true full set, including the original box, warranty paper, hang tag, and a genuine vintage black Tropic rubber strap, completing the sporty and elegant look.
A time capsule of Italian style and Swiss engineering, this reference offers collectors originality, full provenance, and a unique design that stands out in the world of 1960s vintage watches.
