Antique Longines Gun Metal Pocket Watch Retailed by Jays London.

Antique Longines gun metal pocket watch retailed by Jays London.

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding pin set movement which has been identified as a Longines calibre 18.80, which is working nicely. The movement has the Longines serial number 1584888 which dates it to 1904. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover

The watch measures 46.7 mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop. The case is gun metal with gold embellishments and has some surface marking, as they usually do with gun metal, but overall it is very acceptable for its age.

The watch glass is in nice condition with only a tiny nibble to the outer edge at 8 o'clock, nothing serious at all.

The dial is signed with the retailers name Jays, 142 & 144 Oxford Street London W. The dial has a very faint hairline crack between 2 & 8 o'clock although hardly noticeable to the naked eye but otherwise it is in nice condition.

The watch has its original gold hands and blued steel sub seconds hand.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
