The striking Art Deco style oblong graduated grey/vignette dial is decorated with black baton hands alongside applied baton indices finished as if they were warped in an attempt to break free from the case
The outlandish Sterling silver case is in very good condition with a patina only time can replicate (professional polish available upon request). The inside of the curved case back shows London import marks for 1975
The outside of the case back bears intriguing hallmarks. ‘RW’ is RoWi, a famous German bracelet manufacturer and the creator of this case. The crescent moon and crown indicates Germany as the piece’s origin/ destination and beneath this is a fineness marking of ‘0.925’ or 92.5% silver
Fastened to the fixed lugs is a fantastic vintage lizard skin strap
The original acrylic crystal glass remains clear
The caravelle signed Swiss made manual wind movement runs smoothly and keeps good time
