Viking - 5401 - 1900-1949

Overview
A practical and characterful Viking open-face pocket watch with a cream-toned dial, blue Arabic numerals, and a subsidiary seconds layout. The outer 13 to 24 hour track gives it a distinctive look, while the overall design keeps a clean and honest utilitarian pocket watch character.
