1960s British vintage Smith DeLux wristwatch, 15 jewels, mechanical, in good working order
SKU: 202411234820
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 dress watch with a gold colored case from around 1960.
It is a 15 jewel Smith mechanical movement type called DeLux.
The gold dial has aged slightly, but still has a vintage feel to it.
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!
