Old watch advertisements
Anybody else fascinated by old watch advertisements? They give an insight into the social history of wristwatches and sometimes include interesting bits of information.
Let's collect a few here.
I'll kick it off with this Rolex advert from 1936 which notes the use of British stainless steel and precious metals of 'Imperial Grade'.

Old Doxa diving ads were cool too. Pretty subtle (and ominous) double entendre with this one...
