Chronometer grade Super Prestex pocket watch
Chronometer grade Super Prestex hunter pocket watch.
The watch has a chronometer grade stem-winding movement, 21 jewels, adjusted to temperature and 5 positions. Swan neck regulator, screw jewel sets and Breguet hairspring. The movement is signed Super Prestex… the name Prestex was registered in 1927 by Prestons SA (the Swiss arm of Prestons Ltd).
The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a beautifully engraved long service inscription from St Helens Smelting Company, 1949.
The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and was made by the Birmingham based Dennison Watch Case Company, a prolific manufacturer of cases for various watch makers. Overall, the case is in good condition, just a slight indentation to the back.
The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside, the acrylic lens is in lovely condition.
The dial is signed Prestons Ltd. It is in lovely condition with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track.
The antique jewellery and diamond specialist Prestons of Bolton opened in 1869 when it was founded by goldsmith James Preston. The business was later inherited by James’ niece, Gertrude Duckworth. It was the only jewellery store outside London to trade on four floors and featured the novelty of a customer lift. The company produced their own watches under the name Prestex.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.

For other countries, The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable. If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.
Due to Customs regulations, we are unable to send watches / precious metals to certain countries. If you are unsure about your country’s regulations, please contact us and we can check for you. Any orders from prohibited countries will be refunded, less any Paypal fees which are non-refundable.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
