Case and Dial
The pocket watch is housed in an oval, bulbous case crafted from steel. It features an upper hinged lid that, when opened, exposes the interior dial face. The underside of this cover is finished in a blued state, providing contrast to the steel construction. At the bottom of the case, a spring mechanism secures the lid in the closed position. A spherical ring is attached to the top of the case, which retains a brass ring for suspension or attachment purposes.
The dial is constructed from steel and features an engraved circular track. It is marked with Arabic numerals ranging from 1 to 12, rendered in red. The chapter ring is further segmented to indicate half-hour and five-minute intervals. Access to the movement's winding mechanism is provided on the reverse of the case through an aperture covered by a rotatable, arched steel cap.
