Orion - 134256 - 1900-1949

Overview This is a mechanical pocket watch by Orion, presenting the elegant character of an early Swiss antique pocket watch. The white dial features black Arabic numerals, subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock and finely shaped classical hands, giving the watch a clean, balanced and traditional appearance. The case back is decorated with fine guilloché work and a central shield-shaped cartouche, while the inner dust cover bears Orion, Grand Prix Berne 1914 and Montre Ancre de Précision markings with medal motifs. The most notable highlights of this watch are the Orion branding, the 0.800 silver case, the decorative guilloché back and the medal-decorated inner dust cover. Technical and condition details Type: Mechanical pocket watch Winding: Manual winding Function: Running when tested. No long-term accuracy test has been performed. Dial layout: Central hour and minute hands, subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock, outer minute track Dial: White dial with black Arabic numerals, signed Orion with small star motifs on each side, fitted with classical decorative hands.
