WHY WE LIKE IT? It is a slightly strange idea to move the whole movement (+dial) in the case to wind the watch, but it is a working early automatic movement from a time before the rotor-automatic and thus a horological milestone.
A Horological Milestone from the 1930s: A very early automatic-winding wristwatch, made before the rotor-automatic was patented by Rolex.
In very good condition related to its age, with a clean dial and just the chrome-plated case shows some signs of age, use and oxidation. The quirky movement shows just small signs of intervention and is working very good and reliable after our service.
