About This Watch

Vintage. No box/papers. This is a very old pre-Seamaster model that has no model name and clearly shows elements from the military models supplied to the British forces during WW2. The movement is derived from the original Calibre 30 named for it's 30mm width which is large for it's time and even now while many would be supplied to the military. It is simple, robust and finished beautifully. This watch will last many decades to come as long as you maintain it well.

What we have here is a nice vintage with golden yellowed patina on the original dial & hands. The radium applied over the numerals has aged and fallen off on some parts which is perfectly normal while newer cream coloured luminous has been applied on the hands that still glow but certainly not freshly applied & this would be several years old by now. There is a slight mark on the dial near 4 o'clock but nothing major. The case has been polished and shows some remnants of old marks but only visible if you use a loupe. The movement was serviced earlier and in mint condition as can be seen while the case is virtually free from any corrosion, unbelievably clean for a nearly seventy years old watch.

A wonderful watch that keeps decent time and a conversational timepiece over coffee with your friends. Go find a more appealing strap & you'll have a winner. Wearing a vintage watch has a rich appeal that modern mega-priced watches will never achieve.
