Description:

Northwest Novelties 1J Lucerne grade FYG wrist watch, vintage mechanical manual-wind movement, black metal dial with raised gold faceted markers, gold printed hour marker lines radiating from the center of the dial and a gold marked seconds register has a few small scuffs but no notable damage or patina, slender gold steel wedge style hands, formed aluminum square case with a gold plated finish has deep "gold nugget" style designs on the upper bezel around the round dial aperture with a slightly domed plastic crystal, textured back and short tapered extended lugs, the aluminum case is very light weight and not as durable as a brass or nickel based case, however it does have a high resistance to being magnetized and if you are in proximity to low to moderate-power magnets this watch may offer better protection to the movement than the traditional case metals, case is showing normal even wear with a few small spots of discoloration or damage to the gold plating on the lower lugs and back, measures approx. 30mm wide x 34mm lug to lug x 10mm thick (crystal included), lightly padded, deeply textured dark brown leather strap band. An eye catching vintage wrist watch from the 1960s in excellent overall condition!
