Description

1940s Waltham curvex wrist watch.

The watch has a 750-B hand-winding movement which is working nicely. This calibre was introduced in 1942. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number B41689. These shortened serial numbers are often seen on wrist watch movements, supposedly shortened because of the lack of space.

The watch measures 21.5mm wide excluding the winding crown and 30mm high excluding the lugs. It would originally have been a man’s watch but with today’s styles, it could be worn by a lady or a man. The case is 14k gold filled and it is in good condition, just the odd small mark but nothing serious at all.

The watch has a glass lens which again, has a couple of very small marks, but is very acceptable (there is a little white reflection showing in the photos).

The signed dial is in good condition with original hands.

A later strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration
