Gents Silver Marvin Half Hunter Trench Watch, 1916

Gents silver Marvin half hunter trench watch.

The watch has a Swiss hand-winding movement, identified as a Marvin, which is working nicely.

The watch measures 35mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the fixed wire lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the screw-on case back for Glasgow (import mark), 1916 with an importer's mark for James Weir of Argyle Street and Buchanan Street, Glasgow. Overall the case is in good condition for such an early piece, there is a small slight indentation to the side, and some unevenness to the back. The front cover has enamel filled numerals surrounding a central acrylic lens.

There is a small push button between the bottom lugs, this opens the front hinged cover. Inside there is glass lens which is in good condition.

The dial has a couple of faint hairline cracks, really only visible with a magnifying loupe.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
