Waltham Traveler Half Hunter Pocket Watch, 1917

Waltham Traveler half hunter pocket watch, 1917.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, Traveler grade, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and the serial number 21,064,036 dates it back to 1917. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and is the 14ct gold plated Sun model from the English watch case maker, Aaron Dennison. This was one of their better quality plated cases and originally had a guarantee that it would wear for 25 years. The case has the odd “ding” but overall the condition is good for such an early piece.

The front cover has a small central lens surrounded by Roman numerals. The winding crown pushes in to release the front cover... originally the lid would have sprung open but now it just releases but it all closes nice and tightly as it should. Inside there is an acrylic lens which is in good condition.

The signed dial has a couple of short hairline cracks but they are faint. The watch has blued steel hands, including the special half hunter hour hand so that the time can be read when the front cover is closed.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
