This vintage Bravingtons Wetrista is a really beautiful watch that winds, works and keeps good time. The movement is original and incorporates the anti shock incabloc jewels on the balance pivots. The watch movement is housed in a Dennison case and back

It has a clean military style dial with a few marks and the case which is nickel plated shows some sratches and marks that are commensorate with the age of the watch. The crystal (acrylic) is original but has been polished with previous scratches removed.

I can't date this watch exactly but The Bravington Wetrista watch was popular in WW2 and supplied to the War Office and worn by civil servants and military personel of the day. Made to a high standard


Anthony here in the workshop has a special hobby of taking vintage watches
apart, cleaning them, re-oiling the parts, replacing any broken parts and
putting a new strap (original strap is included if we still have it).

Restored to its original condition with lasting quality, it is sure to be
an eye-catching piece.

Known defects:
As with all vintage watches, there will be signs of genuine wear and use. These
really enhance the beauty of these watches as they are evidence of a history. 
Every blemish, every scratch is a nod to its past.
On this watch, we have noticed that the case has some of its plating worn off

The crystal (acrylic face) has a couple of very minor blemishes that could not be eliminated. The
dial, although in really good condition for its age will have some very minor
marks and the hands will likewise have some signs of age.
