Perfect ivory dial with large outline numerals, seconds sub-dial at six and blued steel hands, all near perfect and remarkable for its age. The 17 jewel Movado movement runs well and the watch winds and sets properly. Sterling silver case is near-flawless. Only flaw is a craze in the crystal, which may lead to a crack and require crystal replacement in future, a cheap fix.
This style started in World War I when soldiers began to wear wristwatches to keep their hands free, rather than carry pocket watches. Many from this era have the red 12 on the dial, like this one. The large numerals on many trench watches improved visibility in wartime conditions.
