Watch: Gents Smiths Wrist Watch c.1950

The watch has a 15-jewel hand-winding movement, stamped Made in England, which is working nicely. The watch measures 31mm diameter excluding the winding crown, which is possibly a period replacement, and the horn lugs. The case is chromium plated while the case back is stainless steel. The case is in good condition with just general light marking, nothing serious at all. The lens looks good to the naked eye, light marking if viewed through a jeweller’s loupe. The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please contact us regarding international shipping costs.
