Vintage Curtis Steel Watch — Moon Phase White Dial (1990s)

Curtis — Swiss moon phase on white dial This vintage Curtis watch, of Swiss origin and produced in the 1990s, highlights one of watchmaking's most poetic complications: the moon phase. On a luminous white dial, a starry night sky reveals a golden moon following its cycle — a romantic and refined detail, here accessible in a dress piece with undeniable charm. The oval case in brushed steel, with a vertical cushion shape, displays an elegant matte sobriety that contrasts beautifully with the warmth of the golden dial elements. Its soft lines and short lugs fit the wrist discreetly, in a measured size that suits both women's and men's wrists. The white lacquered dial is the setting for a fine display: at 12 o'clock, the moon phase aperture reveals a midnight blue disc scattered with golden stars across which a golden moon glides; at 6 o'clock, a date aperture completes the display. The black Arabic numerals and railroad track ensure perfectly clear legibility, while the golden hands warm the whole. The CURTIS QUARTZ signature and the SWISS MADE mention recall the piece's Swiss origin. Powered by the Swiss Ronda 788 quartz calibre, renowned for its reliability and moon phase module, this Curtis is fitted with a blue crocodile-style leather strap that extends the dial's nocturnal elegance. An accessible complication watch, ideal for enjoying the charm of a moon phase without breaking the bank. Selected piece, authenticated and serviced by Atelier Victor.
