The watch has a Swiss seven jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Df&C mark, for Dimier Freres & Cie, an Anglo-Swiss watch maker and importer. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has scratching where it has been opened in the past.
The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel and overall the condition is good with just general light surface marks. Some scratching inside the case back.
The glass lens is in good condition.
The dial has a small patch of faint hairlines between 10 and 11 but not too detrimental at all. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.
The watch comes with a single chain which measures 35cm long.
The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
