Serial Number 15069022 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Movement is Open Face not Hunting.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. All of the Model 1898 movements were manufactured in hunting configuration. Some were fitted with dials that did not have seconds bits, allowing for the dial-side to be perceived as open-face.
