The dial is in excellent condition for its age showing no hairlines or damage that I can see to the viewable area with just a little dirt and just one very edge chip at 5 o’clock when the bezel is taken off. All of the black painted Arabic numerals are excellent. They would have probably been lumed in the past but this has been removed. The dial is unsigned. The dial has fantastic steel 'cathedral' style hands which look to be in excellent condition, showing just a little oxidisation. They have some old lume left on them which is patchy.The crystal seems to be glass and shows light wear. MOVEMENT: This is a RARE wonderful genuine SWISS high grade quality 15 jewel LEVER movement. It is unsigned and is in beautiful condition. It has just been oiled and timed by my watchmaker and is running well and keeping time to approximately 1 min per day. As always a full service would be recommended for continuing operation and good timekeeping. The movement is engraved with the wording 15 jewels’ and ‘Swiss made’ in a beautiful typesetting. The crown is gold in colorand seems to be the original onion style. BAND: This TRENCH STYLE WATCH has a BRAND NEW 12mm Extra Long genuine good quality brown leather band fitted.
