Description

Gents 1940s Helvetia wrist watch.

The watch has a Swiss 17-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Helvetia.

The watch measures 27.5mm wide excluding the winding crown and 27.5mm high excluding the lugs. The case is gold plated (40 microns so a good thickness). The inside of the case back is stamped General Watch Company (owners of the Helvetia name).

The case is in good condition for a 1940s piece, just a little wear to the plate but not too serious at all. The back of the watch has blood group details of a previous owner.

The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands, subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. There is some light freckling to the dial.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
