Watch: Gents 1950s Everite King Wrist Watch

The watch has a 15-jewel Swiss hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is by Rotary, the calibre 440, which has been branded with the Everite name for onward retail in branches of H Samuels. The watch measures 30mm wide excluding the winding crown and 30mm high excluding the lugs so it would suit a slimmer wrist. The main body of the case is chromium plated while the screw-on case back is stainless steel. There is some rubbing and general light marking but overall very acceptable for a 1950s piece. The case back states that the watch is water resistant although, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture. The lens is in good condition. The signed dial is in its original finish, there is light freckling across it. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box.
