Watch Description

32mm in diameter. White gold 10K RGP with white fully numbered dial and deep blue hands. It appears in the linebooks from 1964 to 1966, alongside the Tuxedo A & B in the Men's Pocket Watch section. The Tuxedo (first appearance 1963) is described as a "lapel watch" and shown with a short chain with a button on the end. This watch is identical except for the dial and it is pictured without the chain attached. Price is the same for both, so I assume that this watch also came with the chain. I am guessing it was worn with the chain through the lapel buttonhole of your suit and carried in the outside breast pocket. What a novel idea and it came out of your pocket bottom edge attached to easily read it like a women's pendant watch.

Not only is this a database first, the name isn't even currently recorded on the model name drop-down.

Watch looks like it was never carried and keeps perfect time. It is literally a mid 1960's waterproof wrist watch (single piece casing -  front loader) with a single loop instead of lugs.

Now I just need to find a compatible chain.......

Trylon now added and ready for use....if only we have an example to tag....oh wait.

I'm still trying to picture how big/small this is?

It's little for a pocket watch; about 32MM across not counting crown or hanger..Here's a photo of it next to a 1965 Jet Clipper AK.

Nice find...Trylon

Strange, the dial is all numbers and no angular trylons.
