Reference 4348 was manufactured for the aluminum industry between 1945 and 1950. The case, dial, hands, movement plate and bridges were made from the light metal. This results in an incredible total weight with chain of just 30 grams.
A total of only 271 watches of this type are said to have been built. The large aluminum factories in Canada and the USA probably supplied the majority of the production. Our example, which was given to an employee of the Rorschach aluminum factory in 1955, is a real rarity. A must for collectors fascinated by lightweight construction in search of the exclusive!
