Vintage octagonal watches.
Angular cases, cut from flat facets rather than a curve, gather here in two related shapes: octagonal ones make up most of this collection, and a small handful of hexagonal pieces sit alongside them because there are too few to warrant a page of their own and both read as the same idea on the wrist. Seiko, Raymond Weil and Citizen are the strongest presences. Every piece is checked, timed and photographed before it goes up for sale.
Frequently asked questions
Why are hexagonal watches included in the octagonal collection?
There are only a handful of hexagonal pieces in stock at any time, too few on their own to justify a separate collection, and an angular case with six facets wears much like one with eight. The photographs on each listing show the case clearly, and we are happy to confirm whether a particular piece is an octagon or a hexagon if you ask before buying.
Do angular cases scratch more easily than round ones?
Not more easily, but marks show more plainly on a flat facet than on a curved surface, since a scratch catches the light differently there. We check and describe case condition closely on every angular watch we list.
Which brands made octagonal and hexagonal watches?
Seiko, Raymond Weil and Citizen are the strongest presences in this collection, spanning dress-leaning steel and gold-tone pieces through to bolder, more sporty angular designs.
Do angular cases fit differently to round ones of the same width?
Often a touch firmer, because the flat facets sit at the edge of the case rather than curving away from the wrist. It is worth comparing the width on the listing against a watch you already own rather than assuming it will sit the same as a round case.
