Note: Mine is an open face NOT a Hunter.
7j version
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. If your dial does not feature a seconds bit, the movement is still a hunting configuration with a special factory dial to allow for an openface orientation.

Note: There is no way that this watch has 15 jewels. A
simple glance at the movement shows it has 11
jewels at the max, and probably no more than 7.
Curator Response: This range is listed in Waltham sources as a mix of 7-Jewel and 15-Jewel movements.
