Orator pocket watch with manual winding movement in a 50 mm gold-filled case from 1900–1949, weighing 70 g with a 5 cm lug width, not shipped insured, in working order and in good condition with visible wear, featuring a hunter-style case and a dial with a checkerboard pattern and a 13–24 inner ring.
Description from the seller
This looks like an antique pocket watch, likely from the early 20th century (possibly late 1800s–1930s).
A few details that stand out:
• Hunter-style case: The front cover opens on a hinge to reveal the dial, which was common in older pocket watches designed to protect the glass.
• Dial design: The face has a subtle checkerboard pattern with stylized Arabic numerals and a smaller subdial at the bottom for seconds—typical of mechanical watches of that era.
• 24-hour markings: There’s an inner ring with 13–24, suggesting it can be read in 24-hour format as well.
• Hands: The ornate, thin hands are consistent with vintage watch aesthetics.
• Material: The case appears gold-toned (possibly gold-plated rather than solid gold, though that would require inspection of hallmarks).
• Condition: There’s visible patina and wear, which is expected for a watch of this age and can add character.
