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 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.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Smiths Astral wristwatches were produced in Great Britain during the mid-20th century, serving as a prominent line of mechanical timepieces manufactured by the Smiths horological company.

These timepieces typically feature gold-plated or stainless steel cases, acrylic crystals, manual-wind mechanical movements, and leather wrist straps.

Authenticity can be verified through dial markings indicating Smiths or Smiths Astral, British-made movement calibres stamped inside the case, and period-correct case construction.

A mid-century gold dress watch complements tailored suits, crisp formal shirts, or smart casual knitwear, pairing naturally with matching leather shoes or belts.

To maintain functionality, store the watch away from water, humidity, and strong magnetic fields, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every three to five years.
