1960's British vintage Smith Imperial 19 stone men's watch works well
SKU: 173291577
Smith is a British manufacturer with a history that has been making watches since the pocket watch era.
This is Smith's flagship model "Imperial" that appeared in 1958.
With a diameter of 35 mm, it is a little large for a wristwatch at the time and has a luxurious design.
It is a cool watch that is different from jeweler watches such as Garrard and Mappin.
We hope this lovely vintage watch will brighten up your day!
The overhaul history is unknown, but the balance swing is good and it is ticking and moving well.
