1920 - 1940

Sold by The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

Description

1940s GSTP military pocket watch.

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement, signed FHF for Fabrique d'Horlogerie Fontainemelon, which is working nicely.

The watch measures 52mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel plated, it has general surface marking commensurate with its age. The back of the watch has the military arrow, or pheon, together with the GSTP marking.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The dial is in good condition. Originally there would have been luminous paint in the hands and on numbers 3, 6, 9 and 12 but this has been removed over the years, probably because of the radium content.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration
