A finely preserved example of Swiss watchmaking from the late 1960s, the Plexa Super comes from W. & O. Meyer of Solothurn, a firm known for robust mechanical timepieces made before the quartz revolution reshaped the industry. This 1968 model captures the moment horology moved from purely classical dress pieces toward a sportier, more modern aesthetic.
Case and Dial The Plexa Super wears its era confidently: a gold-plated case that shows the warm patina of nearly six decades, paired with a striking red seconds hand — at the time a bold and modern design choice. The combination of a refined profile and a vivid accent gives the watch a distinctive vintage character that works equally well as a collector’s piece or an everyday mechanical companion.
Movement What truly sets this Plexa Super apart is the movement. While many watches of the period were equipped with 17-jewel calibers, this piece houses a 21-jewel mechanism. The additional jewels reduce friction at critical points, improving long-term accuracy and durability. The movement is beautifully finished with Côtes de Genève, the classic Swiss striping usually reserved for higher-end makers, which elevates the watch both visually and technically. The movement also features the Incabloc shock protection system, a practical Swiss innovation that safeguards the balance staff from shocks and impacts.
Plexa was produced by W. & O. Meyer in Solothurn, a region with a deep horological tradition. The Plexa Super represents the brand’s commitment to solid, mechanical engineering at an accessible level. Launched during a transitional era for wristwatches, the model reflects changing consumer tastes of the late 1960s: more emphasis on resilience and sporty details while retaining classical finishing and good-quality movements. As quartz technology emerged in the following decade, many smaller makers either adapted or disappeared; surviving examples like this Plexa Super are therefore increasingly rare and valued by collectors who appreciate honest, well-made mechanical watches.
