Watch Description

Here's a neat one. Movement double stamped with asterix and "T" (1941/1942). Case dated 1942 by serial number Radium hands and dial. Yellow gold plate with a stainless back. Overall pretty clean with lots of service marks inside the back of case. On the wrist, occasionally stops once or twice a day at random, needs service but otherwise keeps time. Missing outer plating cap disc on crown.

Based on ads and previous discussions, this is a 1942 Radio City. Name changed in 1943 to Blackout.

Very common to see that cap missing on 1940's models.

1942 Bulova Radio City is a good match
