Hi all. I have this 16s pocket watch that is called Victory thin model with 17j. No other markings or even a serial number on movement or under the dial. Any ideas as to make and era? Thank you, Roland.

Here's the dial with a weave pattern made of metal.

What is stamped on the movement on the center bridge near the hinge to the case, I can't make it out in the photo.

I'd say Swiss, 1930.

Tom, it says 17 Jewels. That is all. Its a very nice machined movement with a stight polished highgloss then satin stripe to it and very thin like the Gruens. So William figures Swiss 1930's. Is that because of the style of the dial?

Roland.

Swiss 30's

style of the dial; style of the hands; blue minute numerals
dial feet and dial screws the rectangular hairspring attachement.

I think it's a Cortebert movement (was also used as ebauche (raw) by other manufacturers)

What is marked on the inner side of the back cover ?

very nice finish and very good condition.

Regards,
Gerald

Hi Gerald, thx for the info. All that is marked on the inside of the rear cover is "Extra Blanc Metal" and the number 202649.
