Viking - 1072300 - 1900-1949

Overview
This Viking pocket watch has a very appealing Nordic market character, with a clean white dial, bold Arabic numerals, an outer red 13 to 24 hour scale, and a subsidiary seconds register at 6 o’clock. The dial is also signed with the retailer name Walter Lindell Köping, while the inner cuvette is marked with 15 Rubiner and Kontrollerad gång, adding further interest for collectors. The main attraction lies in the 0.800 silver case, 15 jewel movement, dual-scale dial, and the added appeal of a retailer-signed dial.
