1944-47 Roamer 17 Jewel MST 372

This watch is larger than typical for the period at 35mm, is in its original unrestored state - and is a good example of metalic dials of the 1940s, with a highly silvered outer dial ring. Fine art deco lugs, larger case than typical, and finely blued hands give this watch considerable wrist presence. The case is a dustproof design with shield, and bears some design elements in common with the patent waterproof designs. One significant advantage of this design is that the stem and crown can be fitted prior to casing the movement. The only work done on this watch has been to fit a period reproduction strap.
