Essex Nickel Silver One Button Chronograph Original Enamel Dial Watch

About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Essex Watch Company STYLE / REFERENCE: 1 Button chronograph METAL / MATERIAL: Nickel Silver DIMENSIONS: Length 40mm X Diameter 37mm CIRCA: 1930's MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / Blued Steel Springs DIAL / HANDS: Original Enamel Dial / Breguet Style Arabic Numerals / Blued Steel Breguet Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Alligator, 18mm Articulated Fixed Lug / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement. LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This unusual military style watch has a flawless enamel dial and original Breguet style Arabic numerals and a matching pair of original blued steel Breguet hands as well. While not being a famous house, the steel springs are beautiful to look at. This caliber does not have a register but rather resets or is zeroed out when you push the button at 2:00. It is a rare watch and I do not recall ever seeing this model before and the condition is remarkable. It runs well and keeps adequate time, but I would not navigate at sea with it.
