The Cross brand is well-known for its fine writing instruments, leather goods, and accessories. Cross has also produced a range of quartz watches that complement its reputation for craftsmanship and design.

The Cross brand began producing timepieces, including watches, in the latter part of the 20th century as an extension of its reputation for quality and craftsmanship in the world of writing instruments. The exact date of Cross's entry into the watch industry may vary depending on specific models and collections, but it generally occurred in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Cross quartz watches are typically designed with a classic and elegant aesthetic, much like their pens and other products. They often feature stainless steel cases and bands, and the watch faces are often minimalistic, emphasizing simplicity and functionality.

Cross quartz watches use battery-powered quartz movements, known for their accuracy and reliability.

Cross watches often have a classic and timeless design, suitable for both formal and casual occasions.

Here we have the classy Cross CR8007 Quartz movement with twin day/date window. The dial is a two-tone blue with 3D silver indices and luminous hands.

This timepiece was given a good servicing, and its dial was meticulously cleaned, and its battery replaced on 2 September 2023. It should be able to operate unhindered for the next couple of years thereby providing the owner peace of mind.

This vintage oversized style shaped silver case was also given a good rub while maintaining its sharp lines and sexy curves. Most imperfections were removed without compromising the case shape. The mineral crystal is original and was given a good rub as well and is in excellent condition.

The crown is located at its traditional 3H position and is easily accessible.

The case width and height are approximately 42mm (without crown) and 50mm respectively, and the lug to lug is 22mm. Hence, this watch is suitable for men and the modern women.

A brand new high-quality carbon-fibre strap with orange stitching with a black buckle is provided to add class and ruggedness at the same time.

The watch is 100% original Cross components from Japan for this particular watch. No parts were replaced with aftermarket parts.

Even though the seals and gaskets are present, this timepiece has not been water-resistant tested due to its age.

The pictures provided show the watch’s case in excellent condition and well maintained. The only drawback is the lack of documentation and original box. A nice purposeful carrying case or box will be provided instead.

Bear in mind that this watch has seen many of the previous owners’ ups and downs in life, and should be cherished and well taken care of for the next generation to savour such engineering beauty.

Yes, there are many other same models in the market, BUT almost all are not in the same quality condition or as well maintained as what you see here. Hence, it is a no-brainer that this one-of-a-kind timepiece will make an extremely beautiful birthday present for that someone special!

This is a beautiful Cross Vintage Style Palatino Twin-Window timepiece in almost mint condition with brand new Carbon-Fibre strap; so, be unique and wear something that is almost impossible to source.

This is a must-have for the vintage style modern movement timepiece fan, and in fact, any serious watch collector!
