Excelsior Park Chronograph Pocket Watch, C1950

Excelsior Park chronograph pocket watch, c1950.

The watch has a calibre JB (Jeanneret-Brehm, founder of Excelsior Park) CH500 stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is complete with the spare parts compartment, and it is all protected by an inner cover.

The watch measures 51mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is chromium plated and has some surface marking to the back but not too detrimental. The inside of the case back has a list of service references, this watch appears to have been very well maintained which suggests it was used in a situation where accuracy was important. Indeed, this same model of chronograph was used by the Swedish military.

The acrylic lens is in good condition, just minor marking if you look very closely.

The signed dial is in its original finish and it is in beautiful condition. Two subsidiary seconds dials, one for constant seconds and the other to record up to 30 minutes.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
