Buren - 281845 - 1900-1949

Overview
This is a distinctive Buren Grand Prix mechanical pocket watch with strong military style character. The white dial with black Arabic numerals, bold lume style hands, and subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock gives it the clear and practical appearance typical of an early utility timepiece. The back is engraved G.S.T.P. H16886 and Bravingtons London, adding further historical identity. Offered together with a pocket watch chain and an old presentation box, it forms a more complete and appealing antique ensemble for both collecting and display.
The most notable highlight of this watch is its Buren Grand Prix signature, G.S.T.P. military style back engraving, and classic military dial layout with subsidiary seconds.
