17 Jewels
This is a gorgeous vintage NOS wristwatch by Canterbury in beautiful condition and running great! It is coming in the original decorative presentation box with tags. The tag attached to the watch is marked "No. 11397, Case R.G.P., 17 Jewels." And additional foil tag with the company name, Canterbury, is included inside of the presentation box. We estimate this wristwatch to be from the 1940's.
The Swiss movement was produced by Clifford Watch Company and has 7 jewels, and has not been adjusted. (Please note that while the tag says "17 Jewels" the movement is 7 jewels.)
The oval-shaped stainless steel case measures 27.5 x 28.7 and the bezel and lugs are 10 karat rolled yellow gold. It is in great condition and very pretty! The dial is white with a light patina, gorgeous gold applied Breguet numerals, gold lozenge-shaped hands, and a gold stick sub-second. The minute track is black, and the sub-second features black Breguet numerals and second track. The dial is signed Canterbury and Swiss. There is a chip on the underside of the crystal located at 1 o'clock, but the crystal is in otherwise excellent condition.
It comes on the original brown two-piece leather strap with a gold buckle.
This watch is running great and keeping excellent time!
This NOS Canterbury wristwatch is beautiful, in great condition, and runs well! It should be enjoyed. Will make a fine addition to a watch collection.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
