Gents 9ct Gold Smiths De Luxe Watch, Box & Papers, 1957

A gents 9 carat gold Smiths De Luxe wrist watch with box and papers.

The watch has a hand-winding movement, 15-jewels, made in England, which is working nicely.

The watch itself measures 31mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is 9 carat gold and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Birmingham 1957, with a maker’s mark for Aaron Dennison who made cases for many watch companies. The case has the odd mark but overall is in lovely condition.

The back of the watch has a long service engraving from an Oldbury iron founders of Halesowen, dated 1961.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in lovely condition with original hands.

The watch comes with its original guarantee from when the watch was purchased in March 1962 from a West Bromwich jeweller. We often see long service watches that were purchased after the anniversary date and have concluded that watches were presented when the employee left their position rather than on the actual anniversary (perhaps avoiding a second gift).

The watch also comes in its original Smiths De Luxe presentation box.
