A Ww2 Record Gstp Military Pocket Watch

A WW2 Record GSTP military pocket watch.

Record was founded in 1903 in Tramelan as the Record Dreadnought S.A. In 1944, they produced the first watches with hammer automatic movements with rotor automatics following in 1952. Longines acquired Record in 1961 but, as with so many mechanical watch manufacturers, the company did not survive the quartz crisis.

This particular watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement with 15 jewels which is working well. The movement is stamped 15 jewels, Swiss made and the Record calibre number 433.

The watch measures 51.6mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is stamped with GSTP with the military arrow above and the number 043157 below. The case back also has an S stamped on it where it was sold out of service. The case has general surface marks but overall is very acceptable for such an early piece.

The watch lens is plastic and is in nice condition.

The white enamel dial is in beautiful condition.

The watch has its original blued steel hands.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Price includes worldwide postage.

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
