Notes Dial, case and movement signed. DIAM. 38 mm. THICKNESS 12 mm. Approx overall length 175 mm. A beautiful example of the pilot tool watch, the GMT. Bakelite bezels have become extremely rare due to their extreme fragility and were often replaced with later metal inserts. This example still retains its original bakelite bezel and the dial has turned to a beautiful light brown color, giving the remaining gilt writing on the dial an almost phantom effect.
