Silver Dimier Freres & Cie pocket watch with Transport Trade Union reference.

The watch has a good quality signed stem-winding movement, with snail cam regulator, which is working nicely.

The back of the watch has a 1939 retirement inscription from the Transport & General Workers Union. There is some gentle unevenness to the back of the watch but overall the condition is good.

The lens is in good condition.

The dial is signed with the details of the original retailer, A J Parker, 3 Fleet Street, Swindon. The dial is in lovely condition and has blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
