“Everite King” U.M. Military Style – 1950s – Swiss Made Vintage Swiss mechanical wristwatch from the 1950s by Everite King, a historic private-label brand retailed by the famous British jeweler H. Samuel. Everite watches were produced in Switzerland and often equipped with reliable Swiss ebauche movements such as Rotary / A. Schild based calibres. This example features the sought-after military-inspired design with highly legible Arabic numerals, cathedral-style hands and a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock. The watch preserves an authentic untouched vintage character with beautiful aging and honest patina across the dial and hands. The manual-winding Swiss calibre 440 movement is running with 15 jewels and represents the robust utilitarian movements widely used during the post-war era.
