Offered is a 1957 Smiths Deluxe A404 watch belonging to the 'Everest range'. This watch measures a large 34mm in diameter and has a solid feel about it with an 'expedition' waterproof, screw back case. The old crystal is pristine. The face and hands are in good condition for the age of the watch, there is a central 'round scratch' and a few patina patches and the hands could do with reluming...but otherwise good. The chrome plated case is in superb condition with no wear or significant scratching. The 15 Jewel mechanism has been fully serviced, disassembled and deep cleaned (21/02/17) and runs well, keeping good time (we aim for +/- 3 mins on a 24 hour wind with vintage watches). The watch is fitted with a good quality 'Kreisler' leather strap. A real collectors piece, these 'Everest range' watches are becoming increasingly rare and collectable.
