Rare Smiths Everest Gents Automatic Wrist Watch

1940 - 1960
Description

Rare Smiths Everest automatic wrist watch, released to commemorate Hillary’s Everest expedition, circa 1960.

The watch has a 25-jewel automatic movement which is working nicely. Both the ratchet wheel and he rotor are signed Smiths Imperial, which is absolutely correct and just how it should be. The movement was designed by Richard Good and Peter Amis in London and built at the Bishops Cleeve factory on the outskirts of Cheltenham.

The watch itself measures 34.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is gold plated with a stainless steel case back and it is in very nice condition. The winding crown is a later replacement.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in its original finish which is in very nice condition with original hands, original centre seconds hand with red detail and outer minute markers.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.

Free worldwide shipping
