The watch has a 15-jewel Pierce 105 hand-winding movement which is working nicely. Majex bought in movements from various movement manufacturers, including Pierce.
The watch measures 33mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is chrome plated while the case back is stainless steel. There is some marking but not too noticeable at all when the watch is being worn.
The lens is in lovely condition.
The signed dial is in its original finish and it mentions Pierce’s Vitaflex mainspring. In fact, Pierce sold watches just the same as this one but with their own name on the dial. Over the years, the dial has darkened to a handsome warm colour. Original hands and centre seconds hand.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
