History & Notes
Virtually the last of my Imperials. This one has a Schmitz Frères clam-shell case giving superb waterproofing. Testimony to this is the dial's condition after more 77 years. The smallish case is due to wartime steel shortage and is typical for the period. BXP on the movement is the US Government Import code.
Examine the photos carefully; they form the majority of this increasingly rare WW2 period Swiss vintage watch's description.
The Imperial will be wrapped carefully (see my Feedback and bid with confidence!) then shipped via Colissimo Insured & Signed For.
