This Waltham pocket watch is identified by the dealer as a Grade 610 timepiece. It is powered by a seven-jewel movement.
The timepiece is associated with the serial number 20,222,519, which the source uses to date the watch to 1915.
The watch is housed in a gunmetal case with a diameter of 50mm, excluding the winding stem and loop. The case displays surface markings and a patina developed over time.
