History

Coresa was a Swiss watch brand active primarily during the mid-20th century, best known for producing mechanical and chronograph wristwatches. Coresa operated as an assembler rather than a full manufacture. Like many brands of the "Chronographe Suisse" era, they sourced reliable, mass-produced ebauche (blank) movements from major Swiss suppliers.
