Condition Report

Grade B – Good condition, with signs of use consistent with age.

The chromed case displays scratches, rubbing and localised plating wear, particularly around the bezel, edges and lugs. The beautiful dial retains an attractive appearance, with light spotting and age-related marks. The gold-toned hands and hour markers show patina, while the luminous material has aged. The red seconds hand provides a distinctive touch of colour against the silver background. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the condition description.

Water resistance has not been tested. Despite the historical wording on the dial, contact with water should be avoided unless the watch is professionally assessed, pressure-tested and resealed where appropriate.

Story & Heritage

The appeal of this Fulton Officer lies in the small details that give a vintage watch its individual character. Its round case and tapered lugs frame a dial that combines practical legibility with decorative touches, creating an elegant yet purposeful appearance.

The beautiful dial is the centrepiece of the design. A smooth silver centre contrasts with the finely patterned outer ring, while applied gold-toned numerals and sculpted markers introduce depth. The red seconds hand brings energy to this restrained palette, making the passage of time particularly engaging to observe.

Inside, the manually wound Swiss movement offers the tactile pleasure of traditional mechanical watchmaking. Winding the crown establishes a simple connection between the wearer and the mechanism, turning an everyday action into part of the watch’s charm.

Paired with a brown leather strap, this Fulton Officer offers a warm and balanced vintage look. Its textured dial, red seconds hand and generous 36 mm proportions make it an appealing addition to a collection built around distinctive design and mechanical character.
