Gents 1950s Doxa Cricket Alarm Watch

Gents 1950s Doxa cricket alarm watch.

The watch has a AS (Adolph Schild) 1475 which is working nicely. This movement, which was in production from 1954, is signed with the Doxa name.

The watch measures 34mm diameter excluding the crowns and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition with just light surface marks and some unevenness to the case back. The case back is signed with the Doxa name, and unusually it also has the movement manufacturer's AS mark.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial has a little light marking, nothing serious at all. Original hands.

The alarm hand is set via the top winding crown. The hand is moved backwards until the desired alarm time is reached. The alarm is then wound up via the same crown and the crown is pulled out to set. The alarm sounds a little like a cricket, hence the name cricket alarm.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
