- Case Construction and Hallmarking
- The watch features a tonneau-form case in 9K yellow gold, measuring 28mm across. The auction catalog records the case as polished, stamped 'A.L.D.', and numbered 666939. Visual observation reveals integral slotted strap bars formed at the case lugs and a fluted winding crown situated at the 3 o'clock position. The auctioneer dates the case via an English assay mark, described as 'Birmingham Hallmark for 1939'. As the interior case back is not visible in the provided photograph, the specific assay punches and internal stamps remain unverified by direct visual inspection.
- Movement and Technical Specifications
- Internally, the timepiece is documented as housing a manual-wind movement, catalogued as 'Jewelled Cal.106, No.3225847'. Bonhams notes that both the dial and movement are signed. Because no photograph of the uncased movement is provided in the source listing, the calibre's layout, finishing, exact jewel count, and mechanical running condition are not recorded.
