* This attractive, vintage Certina Blue Ribbon can be dated to 1977 and was produced for Swedish motor group Volvo to commemorate the company's 50th anniversary. It is unsure if the watch was only issued to Volvo employees or was sold through standard retail channels but the scarcity of this particular watch on pre-owned watch platforms would suggest this was certainly manufactured in fairly low numbers.
* The watch itself features an attractive, 70s cushion shaped steel case with vertically grained bezel, vertically grained blue dial and baton hands. The watch is powered by the Certina calibre 25-652 and also features the Volvo logo stamped into the screw-down case back. The watch comes fitted to a black leather strap by Rios and comes in perfect working order having undergone a complete overhaul by a vintage watch specialist.
