Why customers love Kelton?

For me, a KELTON is above all a look, and a reliable watch. Exactly the characteristics of mine. It keeps time really well and has still not been serviced since I bought it 35 years ago! Afterwards, given the cost of a service at a watchmaker and the price of a KELTON, you really have to care about it to carry out a service. I also really like its diver look, but which fully assumes its 25 meters of water resistance. In other words, it is not waterproof at all. But hey, at that price, you can't have a 20 or 30 ATM either. Afterwards, the most important thing is that I like it

KELTON models are countless and can become the theme of a watch collection in its own right. Here is one that I like for several details. First, its unusual purple dial, which can turn black. Then, its hands match the raised indexes that contrast with the dial and ensure perfect readability. Beautiful case shape, day/date complication. Nothing extravagant, but a nice design, a beautiful state of conservation, and exemplary reliability. A KELTON! Otherwise, the mechanics are like the rest: in all simplicity.

I was rocked, fed, even stuffed by KELTON advertising in my youth. "You change yourself ..... change your KELTON". I was already interested in watches in the 70s, it was the popular brand par excellence that we could not escape. Here is my first KELTON, which still works very well, without any revision for almost 40 years. I do not wear it anymore because it is a little small now (my wrist has grown in the meantime). I had bought it because the dial and the hands looked like the BENRUS 3061 (watch that I liked a lot at the time).

If today, many collectors start with SEIKO, a few decades ago, KELTON was a completely justified choice. A very popular brand in the 60s/70s, it democratized the affordable and reliable watch. KELTONs are not technical marvels (I'm talking about mechanical watches), but the vast majority of those I've had in my hands are still working after 30, 40, 50 years of good and loyal service. And most of the time, without having had a maintenance interview. Here is a copy from the 60s that has lived well, but which still keeps time very well. Nice look and reliability: that's all I ask of a KELTON!

Love at first sight, for this little Kelton Watch, which reminds me of the era of old cars. With its retro/vintage look, it takes up the codes of the Watches of the time. Discovery of the Brand, via a YouTube Show (Dialicious S1E19). Visit the Online Store, and purchase immediately. Mounted on a Tropic/Racing Bracelet, which gives it its sporty look…

The tool for the difficult learning of reading the time with the hours in numbers and the minutes in clear, and with colored aids for the double railway in red. So many things that were essential because reading seemed so difficult to me at the beginning. A 6 year old who wanted to do like the big ones, who was not allowed to play the guitar because his hands were too small so who wanted to play the trumpet without learning music theory since Louis Armstrong did it well!!! Thanks to Kelton for giving me a taste for watches.
