The front cover spring is not operational and the cover needs to be opened by hand. All of the covers snap ‘to’.The case back is engraved with an ARMORIAL and a motto in Latin which says ‘FIDE ET CONSTANTIA’ (faith and determination to learn) The engraving is somewhat worn after years of use but the motto is still readable.

The dustcover also has a light scratched inscription and although difficult to read there is a date of 1874 on it. I have gently polished the case.

Please remember that vintage watches have survived for many decades by being treated well. Vintage watches are not for wearing while doing yard work, working out, or swimming. Vintage watches cannot keep time like their quartz cousins and will need altering on average between +-2 to +-5 mins per day. They are a little more destructible than modern watches. Vintage watches also require periodic service and cleaning. Every couple of years, they would like their 20,000 mile checkup, oil change, and general service. By taking care of your vintage watch, you will have years of great service, and a quality heirloom to pass to another generation.
