Antique J W Benson Half Hunter Pocket Watch

Antique J W Benson half hunter pocket watch.

The watch has a 17-jewel Revue stem-winding movement which is working nicely. This is one of Revue’s higher grade movements with screw set jewels, snail cam micro regulator, Breguet hairspring and compensated balance. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 51mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and was made by the English watch case maker Dennison. It is in good condition, a little unevenness to the back and the odd small mark but overall very acceptable.

The front cover has a small central lens surrounded by blue enamel filled Roman numerals. The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside, there is an acrylic lens which is in good condition.

The signed dial is in good condition with original 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.
