Description

Rare 1950s Lanco flying saucer pocket watch.

The watch has a signed 15 jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 39.7mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop. The flying saucer inspired case is gold plated and is stamped with the Lanco LWC stamp. The outer case back is signed Lanco with a picture of the Lanco factory on the back. The case is in nice condition with only minor marking from use.

The original acrylic lens with a Cyclopes date window at the bottom has a small crack at the bottom under the date window although hardly noticeable to the naked eye but otherwise it is in nice condition.

The signed pie pan dial has a date window at 6 o'clock. The dial is in nice condition with only the odd minor mark.

The watch has its original rose gold hands.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
