Description

Antique silver centre seconds chronograph.

The watch has a stem-winding three quarter plate movement which is working well. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 55mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are Chester hallmarks for 1896 with the makers mark for Samuel Yeomans inside both of the case backs. The case has a light surface marking from use and a couple of small "dings" to the edge but overall it is in nice condition for an 1890s piece.

The acrylic lens is in nice condition.

The enamel dial has several very faint hairline cracks although hardly noticeable to the naked eye. Gold hands and a blued steel chronograph hand which runs constantly as the start stop button has been disconnected.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
