Watch: Gents 1940s Atlantic Wristwatch

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The watch measures 31mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs… although a man’s watch, it would suit a slimmer wrist. The main body of the case is chrome plated while the screw-on case back is stainless steel. There is some general light marking but overall very acceptable for such an early piece. The case back states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture. The lens is in lovely condition (some reflection showing on the photos). The signed dial is signed Atlantic, a brand name registered by Factory d'Horlogerie Ed. Kummer Sa in 1941, and indeed the Kummer name is on the case back. The dial is its original finish with original hands, red seconds sweep and outer minute markers. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
