Antique Hebdomas Pocket Watch with Day / Date

Antique Hebdomas pocket watch with day / date.

The watch has an 8-day stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The large mainspring is covered by the barrel which has various details of the movement and also of medals won at trade exhibitions.

The watch measures 46mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gun metal which is an alloy of copper, tin and zinc which was originally used in gun manufacture but was later replaced by steel. The case has surface marking, as we often see with gun metal, but not too detrimental. The case also has gold highlights which really give the whole watch a real lift.

The acrylic lens has light marking but not too detrimental.

The dial is signed Hebdomas Patent. The main dial has blued steel hour, minute and sweep hands. There are also two subsidiary dials, one for day and one for date (initially set by removing the bezel and gently tapping the small levers beside the dials). There are a couple of chips to the edge of the dial and radiating cracks.

The watch comes with a single chain which measures 30cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
