Pocket Watch: 1950s Smiths Pocket Watch - Made in England

The watch has a 15-jewel stem-winding movement, stamped Made in England, which is working nicely. The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case was made by the English case manufacturer Dennison, and it is stamped inside with the name Cuprel. The name is derived from cupronickel, an alloy primarily made of copper blended with nickel, giving the metal a brilliant, bright silver, stainless-look finish. The case is in good condition, just a slight indentation to the back. The acrylic lens is in good condition. The dial is in its original painted finish with blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track. The dial is creamier in colour in real life but the camera is struggling to pick it up. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (unfortunately we no longer post to the EU, including Northern Ireland). Please contact us regarding international shipping costs.
