Description

1940s Fortex pocket watch by Helvetia.
The watch has a good quality stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement has been identified as by Helvetia and it has the Helvetia logo just underneath the balance. This movement is often seen in Helvetia military pocket watches.
The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and it is in good condition, as is the glass lens which just has a 2mm mark towards the centre.
The dial is signed Fortex, a private brand name used for imported watches. The dial is in lovely condition with blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.
The watch comes with a silver gilt chain, 26cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. The chain is stamped ‘Sterling’ inside the clasp, and has sealed links so is original to the rest of the chain. The T-bar is a non-silver gilt replacement. The chain is a lighter gold finish than the watch, this is how they came to us so we have kept them together.
The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).

For other countries, The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable. If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
