In the world of watches, for every household name like Rolex or Omega, there are droves of others that fly so far under the radar and were produced in such small numbers so long ago, that their stories have been mostly lost to time. According to the dearth of info we could find, Louvic appears to be one of those brands

But a watch can be so much more than the name on the dial. And this NOS Vista-Time, with its mysterious silver chevron-ed "mechanical digital" dial that has just a few small cutouts for the time, and unique jump-hour movement beating away inside, certainly punches above its weight. To add to all of that, this one comes with a display box and some of the "case candy" that would've come with it when it was new in the '60s. Plus, it'll give you something to nerd out about as you dig through the depths of the internet looking for all the info you can find.

SPECS

CASE & BRACELET

The stainless steel case is in "Like New Old Stock" condition, featuring no notable signs of previous use or wear outside of some nominal storage marks. The watch features its original unsigned crown. The case back is also perfectly clean with no scratches or wear marks, and all factory engravings are clear and legible. The watch comes supplied on its original two-piece black velvet strap.

DIAL & HANDS

The unique dial is also in "Like New Old Stock" condition, featuring a subtle creamy warmth that has developed over years of storage. The dial features silver chevrons that contrast against the disc-like covering. The cutouts on the dial showcase the various digits that tell the time, with black Arabic numerals on an aged white background. Since this is a mechanical "jump hour" watch, there are no hands, with the watch instead relying on rotating discs to tell the time.

ACCESSORIES 

The watch comes with its original clamshell box, accessories, and guarantee paper which remains unfilled out. The watch is running, but the service history is unknown. A movement service can be provided upon request.
