Description

Gents large antique trench watch.

The watch has a Swiss hand-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch is a good size at 38mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the fixed wire lugs. The case is steel and good condition for a piece of its age, just some surface marking to the back, but nothing too serious.

The glass lens has light marking but is very acceptable.

The dial has blued steel hands, a red number 12 and outer minute track. There are two patches of damage to the edge of the dial, mostly covered by the screw-on bezel.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Antique Silver Trench Watch to the 1920s.

Dealers Notes

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (because of GPSR legislation, we no longer post items less than 100 years old to Europe, including Northern Ireland).

Please contact us regarding international shipping.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.

We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.

FAQs

Trench watches evolved from pocket watches adapted for military officers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, becoming standard issue during the First World War for coordinated combat maneuvers.

These timepieces typically feature sterling silver or nickel cases, white enamel dials with bold Arabic numerals, fixed wire lugs, and manual-wind mechanical movements housed behind glass crystals.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct cylinder or lever escapement movements, hand-painted enamel dials, fixed wire lugs soldered directly to the case rather than spring bars, and appropriate hallmarks on the interior case back.

An antique wristwatch can be showcased within a home office on a specialized watch stand, integrated into a gentlemans library display case, or worn as a functional statement accessory.

Preservation requires keeping the movement away from moisture and magnetic fields, having the mechanism professionally serviced every few years, and avoiding over-winding the mainspring.
