CYMA / TAVANNES WORLD WAR 1 TRENCH WATCH FULLY RESTORED AND KEEPS GREAT TIME ROSE GOLD FILLED WORN CASE 1917

STOCK NUMBER #CYMA15-------As the expression goes "This one went through the war!" and by the condition of this case I am more than certain this piece was worn by the allies during world war 1 in the trenches. I cleaned up this case as best as possible and most of the rose gold fill can be seen, though worn indeed and on the snap back case you can see the leather military strap markings left behind. From lug to lug this case is 38mm and without the crown it is 33mm across. The dial is enamel and near perfect Swiss made as marked above the sweep hand. The crystal is semi domed and made of glass. The Arabic 12 is red and this is a military feature indeed. The hands I did relume as the original luminous material started flaking off and on the dial and in the movement. I have serviced this 7 jewel Cyma / Tavannes movement and with a new main spring this piece keeps amazing time for a time piece from the year 1917. The serial number for this movement is written on the inside of this case back and it is 737,741  and the case reference number is 197 as marked under the serial number and on the mid case to the left of the 1 o'clock marker as the second scan shows you clearly. The band is 18mm in width never worn. As clean as can be, serviced and ready to go ;-)
