A Good Sized Gent’s 1950s Horus Wrist Watch

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

A good sized gent’s 1950s Horus wrist watch.
 
The watch has a 17-jewel Swiss hand-winding movement by Fabrique d''Horlogerie de Fontainemelon and it is working nicely.
 
The watch measures 35mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs so it is a decent size for a 1950s piece. The case is plated with a stainless steel screw-on case back. There is a little rubbing to the plate, mainly to the tips of the lugs, but overall very acceptable for a 1950s piece.
 
The lens has a couple of light marks but barely noticeable to the naked eye.
 
The signed dial is lovely and clear, very easy to read the time. The finish has some faint crackling which shows slightly at certain angles.
 
A new grey leather strap has been fitted.
