1960s British vintage Smith DeLux wristwatch, 15 jewels, mechanical, in good working order

We will introduce 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 in-house production in the UK after World War II.

This is a dress watch with a gold case from around 1960.
It is a 15-jewel Smith mechanical movement, called DeLux.
The alloy case has aged and dulled, but still has a vintage feel.
It is unknown if 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!
