Gents 9ct Gold Smiths De Luxe Watch, England

A gents 9 carat gold Smiths De Luxe wrist watch, Made in England.

The watch has a 27.CS 17-jewel hand-winding movement which is working well.

The watch itself measures 33mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is 9 carat gold and there are hallmarks inside the screw-on case back for Birmingham 1956 together with a maker’s mark for the watch case maker Dennison who used to supply cases for Smiths watches. The fact that the watch has a screw-on case back, rather than snap on, is a good sign of quality in a gold watch. There are some scratches to the case back but overall the case is in good condition for such an early piece.

The lens is in good order too.

The signed part textured dial is in its original finish, there is some age related darkening in places but overall it has a charming appearance. Dauphine shaped hands, centre seconds with a red pointer end and minute markers.

A new brown leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
