Case Details The Dennison case on this Traveler is the original case and has some heavy wear on the pendant and rear cover. The crystal is very scratched too and is awaiting repair. Judging by the wear on the case this Traveler has been well used over the years. A nice feature on this case is the safety bow design.
Dial Material Enamel
Dial Type Single-Sunk
Dial Style Roman
Dial Signing Name Waltham
Dial Details The single sunk dial has a scripted 'Waltham' signature, Roman numerals and outer track ring. and is lovely condition. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the plastic crystal which has scratched badly all over.
Movement Markings American Waltham USA Traveler
18996011

Movement specification: 7 Jewels, Gilt, Bosley regulator, unadjusted. Breguet hairspring. Grade Traveler.

Manufactured in 1913 less than a year to the breakout of World War one, the movement was shipped to England and then cased in a Dennison 10 year guarantee gold filled case. The Traveler movement runs very well with very good amplitude and is really quite amazing for its rather beat up appearance. Keeps very good time too. Amazing Waltham.
