Corum - 18K Yellow Gold Brown Dial
A Study In Mid Century Minimalism
Corum has always operated on the more artistic side of Swiss watchmaking, and this 1960s piece is a perfect example of their approach. It takes the classic tank form and executes it with a quiet confidence. The use of solid 18k yellow gold and a clean, time-only brown sunburst dial places the focus entirely on shape and material. This is not a watch that needs complexity to make a statement. Its value is in its restraint.
Classic Form With A Touch Of Color
What sets this example apart is the warm, brown sunburst dial. It provides a rich contrast against the yellow gold case, shifting in the light without being distracting. Details like the simple gold stick hands and the blue cabochon crown add just enough character to elevate the design. It is fitted to a leather strap with its original signed gold buckle, completing a classic mid-century aesthetic that has proven to be timeless.
Untouched And Well Preserved
The dial and crystal are both free from any scratches or marks. The 18k yellow gold case is in great cosmetic condition and appears untouched, with the hallmark present on the caseback. All parts, including the crown, dial, and movement, are original to the watch. It presents as a very honest and well-preserved piece from its era. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Ritual Of The Manual Wind
This watch is for someone who appreciates the core elements of a well-made timepiece. The tank shape is an enduring classic, and the manual wind movement creates a daily point of connection. The act of winding the watch each morning is a small ritual that bonds the owner to the machine. It is a subtle, elegant piece that works precisely because it does not try to be anything more than a beautiful, functional object.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
