Notes

What makes this timepiece different is the size “Jumbo” of the case and its “teardrop” lugs. With its 36 mm, the case is larger than usual for the wristwatches from the 1940’s and the lugs give a touch of originality to this classic design. The black dial has been perfectly restored. Moreover, the wristwatch features the beautiful 453/2C calibre.
