Description

A gents 9 carat gold Services Court wrist watch, 1960.

Services Watch Company was a Leicester based company, founded in the late 1920s by Frank Liquorish. Rather than making the watches themselves, the company either had them made by other companies or they bought in parts to be assembled in the Services factory.

The watch has a good quality 17-jewel hand-winding movement, an ETA 2397, which is working nicely.

The watch itself measures 31.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is 9 carat gold and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Edinburgh 1960 with a case maker’s mark for the British Watch Case Company. The case is in good condition, just light surface marks, nothing too detrimental at all.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial has a bark effect finish which is in good condition.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
