Accurist by name and Accurist by nature, This is a lovely traditional gents vintage watch.  I am estimating this is from the 1970s purely because of the AS1881 movement inside that Google searches will give you a date range for this movement run. There are many calibres of this movement that have common parts or are a precursor to this current one.  In restoring this watch I had to source an hour wheel and cannon pinon, the pinion is a common failure on these due to age.  They both came from packets for a a 1746 but also had a list of at least 10 other calibre's the parts would fit.

I have given this watch a full stripdown and service, replaced necessary parts and now its running beautifully.  There is zero watch resistance on this piece so discretion is required. Caseback is a snap on and the bezel can be pried off so as to remove the dial and movement from the case.

Classic baton applied indices and sweep second hand with a working date function (no quickset) 

Accurist were very popular in the UK and generally have decent Swiss movements inside. 

Dial does show some patina in places which can only be put down to age.  Please watch the videos in the listing to see the watch better.  I have included photos of the strip down during service.

Fitted a new leather semi sheen lizard print strap and gold tag and buckle.
