Vintage 1940s Gents Belgosa Hand Winding Wrist Watch

A vintage 1940s gents Belgosa wrist watch.

The watch has a hand-winding 17 jewel movement which is ticking away nicely and the time keeping is good to within 2 - 3 minutes over 24 hours. The movement is stamped Pallas Watch Co, seventeen 17 jewels unadjusted, Swiss.

The watch measures 31 mm diameter excluding the winding crown and 39.3 mm high including the lugs. The chrome plated case has light surface marks from use and light wear/ pitting to the edges but overall it is in nice condition for a 1940s piece. The case back is stamped stainless steel back, antimagnetic, Swiss made, shock protected and water protected although with any vintage watch I would not rely on it being water protected.

The lens is in nice condition.

The dial is signed Belgosa, 17 jewels, waterproof, shock protected,antimagnetic with Swiss made at the bottom. The dial has light discolouring and faint surface marking although hardly noticeable.

The watch has its original blued steel hands.

The watch has a new black leather strap.

Price includes worldwide postage.
