Gents Silver Ww1 Cyma Chronometre Wrist Watch

Gents silver WW1 Cyma Chronometre wrist watch.

The watch has a six jewel calibre 370 hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Cyma name. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 34mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the fixed wire lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for London 1914 with a sponsor’s mark for George Stockwell.

From 1 June 1907, Stockwells acted as assay agents, facilitating the import into Britain of foreign gold and silver items which had to be assayed and hallmarked in a UK assay office before being released for retail.

The case is in good condition, the odd small mark and a small “ding” to the edge of the back, and some slight unevenness to the back, but nothing serious at all and all very acceptable for a World War 1 piece.

Later winding crown.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in its original finish with handsome blued steel hands. There is some darkening to the dial but it has a charming appearance.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
