Condition: Stainless steel watches from the 60’s are sometimes described as the perfect watch. During this time period, precious metal watches were really top of mind for most watch wearers. But many companies who produced exceptional quality watches also produced watches in steel. The watch dates to 1961 and is in great condition. The 33mm stainless steel case has sharp edges and very little signs of polishing. The white, cream dial is in great condition with gold applied hour markers that match the gold hours, minutes and seconds hands. The stainless steel caseback has a hand-engraved dedication “1961 D Tracey, Over 40 Years with C.S. Milne & Co Ltd.”. The inscription likely points to the sale and gifting of the watch in 1961 to D Tracey for 40 years of service with a company located in Deptford, South London, United Kingdom.
The watch does not come with box and papers.
