Possible British Military Pocket Watch

[clockboy]

Purchased this pocket watch sold as Rare British military Helvetia pocket watch. I have done some research and it seems genuine. My only doubts are because the movement,dial,crystal etc are in superb condition. The only fault I can find is the movement screws/clamps are missing so I have to be careful not to break the stem & the case back is loose fit.

Perhaps Will or someone can advise. i.e.  if it is a genuine case but with a newish movement fitted.

I like that CB. I'm sure Will will come up with some information. I have wristwatch made by the company and it's a s goods as the best!

Looks good to me - dial, hands, case, case markings*, movement - all seem to match.

 

Nice one!

Hi clockboy, I have one of these just the same including the loose back,mine has a broken pivot on the third wheel,but have just got a spares watch from the bay so hopefully running soon.

Here's a pic of the dial and hands just cleaned and relumed.

Nice well pleased & it's keeping excellent time as well. Apart from attaching some movement screws nothing to do.

Great pieces! Both of them!

Nice watches! CB the movement in yours reminds me of a predecessor of a Unitas 6498.

 

Cheers,

Lovely example clockboy, the 32A movement is correct
