The 0552/920-3305 marking to the case back denotes that this was issued to the Royal Navy. Originally these watches came with radium lume, but were replaced with tritium in the 1960s. We can tell this by the circled T on the dial.
Condition Report:
The chronograph counts one minute, but has not been tested further due to time constraints. Movement has scratches, marks and tarnishing commensurate with general wear visible when viewed under a 4x loupe. Dial appears to be in an average condition with some light marks and scratches when viewed under a 4x loupe. Hands show marks and tarnishing when viewed under a x4 loupe. Glass has some scratches and marks when viewed under a 4x loupe. Case shows scratches, marks and dints. Crown has scratches and marks. Strap appears to be in good condition with minor marks and creasing. Buckle appears to be in good condition with minor marks and scratches when viewed under a 4x loupe. This lot does not come with box or papers. Dreweatts 1759 do not guarantee the working order or accuracy of any lots sold. Due to opening of the case back we recommend this watch is re-sealed by a qualified technician to ensure any stated water resistance is achieved. If you should have any further questions regarding this lot, please contact the Watch Department on 01635 553 553 or at watches@dreweatts.com
