Historical Background

The A. Schild AS 1380 is a Swiss manual-wind triple calendar movement based on the AS 1291 family. It was designed to display the day, date and month through a mechanically driven calendar system and was used by numerous Swiss watch manufacturers during the 1950s and early 1960s. Triple calendar watches represented some of the most sophisticated non-chronograph wristwatches of their era.
