The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

Description

Gents Smiths De Luxe watch, box & papers, 1958.

The watch has a 17-jewel hand-winding movement, calibre 27CS, which is working nicely.

The watch measures 32mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The main body of the case is gold plated while the case back is stainless steel. There is a little rubbing to the plate and general light marking but overall, very acceptable for a 1958 piece.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands and centre seconds hand with red pointer end. There are small freckles across the dial which you can see with a jeweller’s loupe, or if you tilt the watch to the light.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes with its original Certificate issued by the Horological Laboratory in Cheltenham / Guarantee from Smiths Clocks & Watches, dated 27 February 1958. Also included is the original Smiths De Luxe box (confirmed as the original as it has a label with a code which is repeated on the Guarantee).

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
