An inexpensive 1956 Smiths Empire men’s watch with the 5 jewel hand wind movement.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
When searching through Barrie Smith’s definitive book on Smiths watches we can accurately date this watch to being made in 1956. It was only year the Y366 model was available.
CONDITION
This is one of the cheapest ways of getting a birth year watch from 1956. The watch is also collectible for those who like the simple Smiths Empire range. The watch is running strongly, and loudly as these do. The dial is dirty but evenly so. The gilt case looks chromed in some lights, and does have scratches all over. The acrylic crystal has been polished to remove light scratches. The leather strap is worn but possibly the original one, so we have left it on.
This watch will be supplied with our Certificate of Authenticity.
