Description: Very comfortable on the wrist and relatively large size for it's era of easily more than 50 years young! Please see photos just taken, comes with the black strap. Some research i did was that Civitas was a brand made by Moeris in Switzerland. Civitas as a brand name has been registered in 1904. Moeris watches have been officially issued to the German Army in WW II, they had the D. H. on the back though, same is valid for Civitas. The Moeris Watch Factory was established in 1893 in Saint-Imier. The company was a high-volume maker, producing more than 10 million watches by 1957. At that time, the company sold upscale watches with 17 or 25 jewels and Incabloc shock protection. In 1966, Moeris introduced a licensed watch with the likeness of James Bond. Moeris became part of Rayville by 1974, alongside Blancpain. At this time, the company pivoted to focus on historic replica pocket watches. For the next decade, the Moeris brand was found on many pocket watches with historic designs. The company listed its address as Villeret, like Rayville, by 1976. In 1978, Moeris closed its doors. In 1980, ownership of Moeris passed to Tissot. By this point, the company was focused on skeletonized pocket watches and quarts pendant watches for ladies. Soon, the company was located at Le Locle with Tissot. It appears to have ceased production after 1985. It is a manual wind and last service unknown. Selling as is.
