Description from the seller
Overview
This is a small and highly decorative Milax mechanical pocket watch with a refined jewel-like character. The clean white dial, bold black Arabic numerals, ornate hands, and richly embossed gilt-tone case give it both vintage charm and strong display appeal. Its main attraction is the combination of a compact size, a 17 jewel Incabloc movement, and an elegant floral embossed case design.
