Montine guards pocket watch, British Rail and chain.

The watch has a 17-jewel stem-winding movement, a Unitas 497 with Incabloc shockproofing, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner cover.

The watch measures 48mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is plated and it is in good condition, just light surface marking from use.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in lovely condition, original Breguet style hands and numbers, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch comes with single albert of unusual design, 25.5cm long including the clasps. There is also a coin which forms a fob, 'In Tempestate Securitas', with St George killing the dragon on one side and the Jesus and his Apostles in a boat on the Sea of Galilee on the other.

The watch and albert will come in a new presentation box.
