Antique Silver Waltham Equity Half Hunter Pocket Watch

Antique silver Waltham Equity half hunter pocket watch.

The watch has a seven jewel Equity grade stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 21,794,545 which dates it back to around 1917, towards the end of the Equity’s production era. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 52mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the three covers for Birmingham 1920 together with a case maker’s mark for Aaron Dennison. The Dennison Watch Case Company supplied most of the cases for Waltham UK.

There is a slight discrepancy between the dates of the movement and the case but this is a perfectly plausible considering it was produced at the end of WW1.

The case has engine turned detail to both the front and back, a slight hint of unevenness but overall good condition. The front cover has a small central lens surrounded by blue enamel filled Roman numerals.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover.

Inside, there is an acrylic lens which has minor marking across it, not overly noticeable to the naked eye.

The signed dial looks good to the naked eye… there is a faint hairline starting between 11 and 12 but it is difficult to see. Original blued steel hands including the special half hunter hour hand so that the time can be read when the front cover is closed.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
