Buyer's Premium:

A sterling silver cushion-cased wristwatch with fixed wire lugs, featuring a white enamel dial with black Roman numeral hour markers and a contrasting red XII. The dial includes a railway-track minute ring and a recessed sub-seconds dial at the 6 o’clock position, with the time indicated by blued steel moon-style hands. The hinged case back opens to reveal a Swiss manual-wind movement. Internally, the case back is struck with the sponsor’s mark CN within a rectangle, SWISS MADE, and the serial number 328808. British import hallmarks for London are present, comprising a u date letter, the Leo zodiac symbol, and the 925 sterling silver mark. A central engraving depicts a standing allegorical figure with a spear and shield, surrounded by the text THE MARK OF CONFIDENCE. The movement is marked with a circular stamp reading ALASKA around a star, above the words SEVEN 7 JEWELS. The piece is presented on a modern tan textured leather strap with white contrast stitching.
