The inside of the removable front of the Watch Case is engraved "BREVETE" - SWISS" on one side & "51" is engraved on the opposite side - I think that is the Case Model Number. The Metal is likely Nickel Chromium as that was the most commonly used at the time Case Measures 38mm x 38mm - (40mm with the Crown & 50mm with Half Circle Loop) **** Most of the Jump Hour watches of this era were either Rectangular or Round ***** The case has some scratches as expected from a Vintage watch of this age - The watch looks great to the naked eye and the scratches could always be buffed out, but I like the way it looks with a bit of age as it gives the Watch some character The bright light needed to take the pics tends to exaggerate any marks on the case This watch is one of many It was one of many watches I have collected over the years It didn't get much use & mostly just sat on display. It is in very good condition for it's age. The crown clicks securely in place it winds & sets easily & still keeps very good time YET ANOTHER "UNEEK" COLLECTORS PIECE FROM THE UNEEKBOUTEEK -We will ship this item packed thoroughly & carefully -Via Insured USPS Priority Mail - - Rates are for Continental United States Only - We only ship in the Continental US - - Our Etsy Price: $525.00 Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this unusual Watch.
