This Uno watch has hallmarks for the 9k gold case in 1953, and an inscription for 1957 on the case back.  15 jewel hand wound movement.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

We can date this to being made in or shortly after 1953 from the Birmingham hallmarks in the case, or to 1957 from the inscription on the watch back.  Either date could be considered valid, but the 1957 one is more obvious.

CONDITION

Fair.  The dial is foxed, but quite evenly.  The Meteor solid gold case was made by Dennison, has a couple of dents that might be able to be removed by a jeweller if needed.  The watch has an ETA 1260 manual winding movement that is running and setting well.  What is very nice is the inscription for 29 years hard work at the same employer, MB Ltd (we can’t find out anything about this company, but would be happy to hear information on them).  Fitted to a new leather strap that is shown in the video.

This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
