A sign of quality is the use of tinted enamel dial. This was a tradition primarily used by English makers but sometimes also used in Switzerland. Tinted enamel is when the regular white is coloured to appear more cream. In addition to this beautiful dial, the watch features a 30 minute register and subsidiary seconds that have been positioned vertically on the dial. The watch is furthermore retained in excellent condition and complete with its original certificate.
