The swing-out case has a gold-tone finish with decorative edging around the front bezel. The exterior shows noticeable age-related wear, scratches, marks, and surface wear, particularly on the back. The inside case back also shows scratches and handling marks. Please review all photographs carefully for the exact cosmetic condition.

The dial presents nicely overall with some age-related spotting, marks, and wear visible. The movement appears clean and attractive, with the exposed bridge construction and railroad chronometer markings making this a particularly appealing Howard for a collection.

Running Condition: The watch is currently running at the time of listing. However, due to the high volume of watches we process, we do not test or guarantee timekeeping accuracy.

This is an attractive early 20th-century Howard Series 11 Railroad Chronometer, combining a 21-jewel railroad-grade movement, five-position adjustment, and desirable swing-out case.

Please examine all photos closely, as they are an important part of the description and show the watch’s condition, movement, dial, case, and markings.
