1950s British Vintage Smith Wristwatch SMITH DeLux AB331 15 jewels mechanical Denison case in good working condition
SKU: 202505305369
We would like to introduce you to vintage watches from the British brand SMITHS.
Smith is a historic British manufacturer that has been making watches since the days of pocket watches. Although it stopped manufacturing watches for a while, it resumed its own manufacturing operations in the UK after World War II.
This is a gold-colored dress watch from the 1950s.
It is a 15 jewel Smith mechanical movement type called DeLux.
The centre of the dial is unique, giving this watch a design that is typical of Smith.
The case is made by Denison Cases, a high-end British case manufacturer.
It is unknown whether it has been overhauled, but the balance wheel is in good condition and ticks along smoothly.
We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
