Watch: Gents 1930s Tavannes Stayte B Wrist Watch

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the name Stayte B, a brand name registered by the Tavannes Watch Company. There are a couple of empty screw holes within the movement, in some cases these are for retaining screws but in this instance, they are not required as the case back is designed to hold the movement in place. The watch measures 25.5mm wide excluding the winding crown and 32mm high excluding the lugs. The case is chromium plated while the case back is stainless steel. The case has very light surface marking and some surface scratching to the back, but overall very acceptable for a 1930s piece. The convex lens has light marking if you look very closely. The dial is in its original finish with original hands. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All Prices Include UK Postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
