Gents Antique Silver Waltham Wrist Watch

Gents antique silver Waltham wrist watch.

The watch has a 7-jewel grade 361 hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement has nicely patterned plates and is fully signed and it carries the serial number

18,846,962 which dates it back to 1912.

The watch is a good wearable size at 35mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the fixed wire lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Birmingham 1914 with a case maker’s mark for the Birmingham based Dennison Watch Company, suppliers of most of the cases for Waltham UK. This is a good quality case with screw-on bezel and case back. It is in lovely condition, especially for such an early piece. The case back has the initials CB and the date 1915. The discrepancy in dates is to be expected considering the watch was produced in the First World War era.

The watch glass has light marking but is very acceptable.

The signed dial is in good condition, blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
