1950s Cyma Cymaflex Oversize 36mm Stainless Steel “Fly Wing” Dial – Cal. R.459 – Ref. C15002 Rare and highly attractive vintage Cyma Cymaflex from the 1950s, featuring an uncommon oversized stainless steel case, distinctive faceted “fly wing” hour markers, and its original crown. This watch is powered by the respected manual wind Cyma Cal. R.459 movement with 17 jewels and presents beautifully with classic mid-century proportions, sharp angular lugs, and an elegant domed acrylic crystal. The dial is especially striking, featuring: * rare applied geometric “fly wing” indices * original dauphine hands * sector-style minute track * a warm silver tone with subtle champagne undertones * attractive and even vintage patina throughout At 36mm excluding crown and approximately 44. 5mm lug-to-lug with 19.5mm lug width, this is considerably larger than most Cyma dress watches from the period and wears exceptionally well on a modern wrist. The stainless steel case remains strong with sharp lug lines and excellent overall vintage character. The watch also retains its original Cyma crown, an increasingly uncommon detail on vintage examples from this era. --- Specifications * Brand: Cyma * Model: Cymaflex * Reference: C15002 * Movement: Cyma Cal.
