American Waltham Watch Co. was in operation from 1852-1957 and was an American pocket watch manufacturer. Manufacturing of Waltham watches took place at their facility in Waltham, Massachusetts.
Crafted in Waltham, Massachusetts, and completed in 1919, this Waltham timepiece features the No 220 grade movement—a 15-jewel Waltham in-house workhorse produced between 1896-1931. The movement has been fully restored and refinished with stylish blue accents on the screws and movement hardware, achieved through precise thermal coloring completed by hand. The watch hands have not been restored and are in their original heat plum color. The Waltham dial its made of porcelain-enamel and features stunning bold Arabic numerals. The heat plum hands contrast brilliantly against the dial, making time-checking a visual delight.
The timepiece is encased in a 316L stainless steel wristwatch conversion case, designed with adjustable lugs for easy winding and setting, ensuring a comfortable fit across various wrist sizes. The case includes front, back, and crown gaskets, providing water resistance up to 50 meters, though it is recommended to remove the watch before engaging in water activities. The timepiece comes fully serviced and ready for your next adventure.
