Alsta Star Watch Co Pocket Watch Goldtone Case 17 Jewels Full Sz Movement1960-70

  

ALSTA STAR WATCH CO POCKET WATCH GOLD TONE CASE 17 JEWELS FULL SZ WORKS 1960-70s. THIS IS A PLEASENT SURPRISE POCKET WATCH. IT IS MECHANICAL AND HAS A SEVENTEEN JEWEL MOVEMENT.

IT IS MARKED STAR WATCH CO. SWISS MADE UNADJUSTED INCBLOC ON THE FACE. THE MOVEMENT IS A FULL CASE TYPE. I WAS EXPECTING A WRISTWATCH SMALL MOVEMENT. THE COVER POPS OPEN SMARTLY WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE LATCH STEM. THE LATCH STEM RELEASE IS LOCATED AT 3 O'clock NOT 12. IT IS NOT GOING TO IMPRESS ANYONE AS A FAMILY HEIRLOOM BUT IS IS A VERY NICE LOOKING POCKET WATCH. THE HUNTER AND HUNTING DOGS ON THE CASE AS WELL AS THE PHEASANT IN ENAMEL ON THE DIAL FACE CARRYS THE STYLE VERY WELL. I THINK IT IS LIKELY THAT THIS WATCH IS BETWEE 50 AND 60 YEARS OLD. I SEE SIMILAR STYLES ATRIBUTED TO AS EARLY AS THE 1950'S BUT 60'S AND 70'S SEEM MORE LIKELY. VINTAGE TO ME RELATES TO A WATCH FROM THE LATE 1800'S TO THE 1940'S. THEN AGAIN A 50 YEAR OLD WATCH IS GETTING CLOSE SO I WILL CALL IT NUVO VINTAGE.

CONDITION IS EXCELLANT OVERALL AND IT RUNS STEADY AND KEEPS GOOD TIME. A GOOD VALUE AS A RETRO LOOK WATCH. THERE IS A KOOL/COOL FACTOR TO HAVING A WATCH IN YOUR BLUE JEANS WATCH POCKET (YES THAT IS WHAT THAT SMALL COIN OR LIGHTER POCKET ON YOUR JEANS, WAS INITIALLY USED FOR).
