Trebor’s vintage watch collection
At Trebor’s Vintage Watches we specialize in restored vintage watches, including Omega, Longines, Rolex and other quality antique and pre-owned mechanical wristwatches. We do not normally sell current production timepieces but do offer a number of “New Old Stock” watches. We are based in Montreal, Canada and ship our professionally refurbished watches around the world. We have been in business for 25 years and have had a presence on the Internet since 1998.
All of our vintage watches are sold in good working order. Most have been serviced by our watchmaker, or in some cases were recently serviced elsewhere and have passed our watchmaker’s inspection. Servicing normally includes complete disassembly, cleaning, oiling of the watch movement and timing and adjustment upon reassembly. If during reassembly any parts show excessive wear the watchmaker will replace them with new original parts (if available), will find parts from another vintage movement or will sometimes make a part by hand. The outer case may be lightly buffed to remove surface scratches, and if required a replacement crystal installed. An original dial showing some patina and age marks that still looks nice will be left alone, but often the aging process has gone beyond looking nice and in these cases the dial will be professionally refinished (we always indicate if a dial has been refinished in our description). Most of our restored old watches are fitted with new leather straps. In short you will receive a magnificent looking antique timepiece that has been fully restored to its original condition.

This 1953 silver white dial Glycine Airman is a very rare find, it is one of the first Airman ever made and much harder to find than later but also very collectable Vietnam era Airman. This watch has some unusual features that identify it as an early prototype Airman, the first being the shape of the hands and the lack of an arrow shaped hour hand (that came later) and next the fact that the “counter arrow” is on the minute hand rather than the hour hand. The counter arrow in later versions of this watch correctly point directly opposite the hour hand and when used in conjunction with the rotating bezel tracks another time zone, but on this prototype model with the counter arrow on the minute hand it only allows tracking an event 30 minutes ahead of current time, not very useful but a well documented design flaw that help make this a very unusual and collectable horological item! The silver white dial with red date and luminescent hands are not often seen in the airman, usually the dials and date display are black, but like later versions of this watch it features a 24 hour dial and has a locking rotating bezel (lower crown locks bezel) which can be used for a second time zone.
See Airman photo galleryThe automatic Glycine Bidynator Felsa cal 692 movement was used in 1950’s production Airman and was phased out by 1960, this example is very clean and is in excellent working condition. Photos are not actual size of watch, it measures 36 mm across (not including crown) x 45 mm lug to lug. Watch is fit with a new leather bracelet.

Very attractive Record Geneve triple date moonphase from the 50’s in a stainless steel case with thick pink gold plating to the lug tops and bezel. At almost 36mm in width excluding the crown, this is one of the largest Record cases I’ve seen, and it is in beautiful shape. The unusual 3-tone copper/salmon dial has small gold colour markers for the numbers and a blue date ring which all help to add visual appeal. The hands are the original Record signature hands. The watch works with a strong beat and keeps excellent time, and is powered by the traditional c107 calibre. The one flaw to this watch worth noting is in reference to the day/month discs, which do not appear to me to be original; at least they are not in keeping with true Record Geneve styles. The month dial is manually moved, and turns backwards? The day/month discs are in Spanish. The watch is 3x signed - on the movement, dial and case. Photos are not actual size of watch, it measures 35.5 mm across (not including crown) x 42 mm lug to lug and is fit with a new leather bracelet.
