Welcome back to The Rusty Goats Time Emporium LLC! We fetch the finest vintage wrist-trinkets so you can look sophisticated, even if your fallback hobby is arguing with people on the internet.
Today we have a certified mid-century Swiss survivor: a vintage Wyler Incaflex Dynawind "Lifeguard" automatic watch (Model 31705-1162). Wyler was famous for their "Incaflex" balance wheels—a shock-absorbing design so rugged that the company's founder literally threw these watches off the Eiffel Tower in 1956 to prove they wouldn't break. This specific model is a "Lifeguard," meaning it was built to withstand the elements, poolside drama, and the general passage of time.
Best of all? It's an automatic (self-winding) mechanical movement. No batteries required here. It feeds on the kinetic energy of your swinging arm. If it stops ticking, you just need to live a more active lifestyle or talk more with your hands.
THE FACTS:
Brand: Wyler
Series: Incaflex Dynawind "Lifeguard"Model/Reference: 31705-1162 stamped on case back
Movement: Swiss Automatic (Self-Winding mechanical)
Case: All Stainless Steel
Band: Brand new, premium tan leather strap with contrast stitching
Functionality: Tested and running well!
THE HUMOROUS (BUT ENTIRELY TRUE) CAVEATS:
The Crystal Situation: The crystal has exactly two battle scars (cracks). We could lie and say they are custom speed lines to make the watch tell time faster, but they are just cracks. They don't ruin the view of that beautiful sunburst dial, but they do mean you shouldn't wear this while deep-sea diving or wrestling an alligator.
Eiffel Tower Warning: While Wyler famously dropped their watches from the Eiffel Tower, please do not replicate this test. The Rusty Goats Time Emporium LLC does not insure gravity-induced pavement collisions.
Premium Leather Strap: The band is brand new and exceptionally comfortable. It smells faintly of premium leather and luxury, which will successfully distract people from noticing that you haven't washed your car in four months.
