The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Birmingham 1885 with a maker's mark for Arthur Baume, watch maker and importer (including being the importer of Longines watches). The case has a few dings and dents from years of use.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The watch has a white enamel dial with pin-set blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. There is a little spider of short hairline cracks on number 8 but they are faint.
