Description
This is a vintage triple date Cornell by Shriro Watch Company men's watch. This watch dates to approximately the late 1940s to early-mid 1950s. This beautiful watch has a military style dial & features a triple date complication which shows the day of the month, day of the week, & month. There are three hidden quick set buttons on the edge of the case which allow you to adjust the date indicators quickly & easily. The day of the month & week will automatically advance at midnight & the month must be adjusted manually (this is not a flaw, it is how it was originally designed). This watch has definitely been well loved & shows some patina & wear, particularly to the case in high friction areas. That being said, it was definitely well cared for back in the day! A fun fact about this watch is that it has many hand scrawled service notes inside the caseback & shows that it was extremely well maintained from 1956 through 1971. The blued hands have been freshly re-lumed & pop beautifully against the dial. The dial is all original & the indices have their original paint & lume which shows some wear. It has just had a NOS acrylic crystal installed. The case measures a compact 31mm in diameter not including the crown. Although it is smaller than most contemporary men's watches this was common for the era & still looks distinguished on the wrist today. Fit with a NOS dark brown genuine leather band. The high quality Venus 203 (a derivative of the Venus 180) movement has been serviced & is keeping good time within approximately 20 seconds per day. It comes with a limited 1 year warranty.
