A date window is positioned at the 3 o'clock mark. The construction includes a base metal bezel and a stainless steel snap-down case back. The interior of the case back is stamped Case Great Britain Timex. The mechanical movement is secured within the case by a white plastic spacer. The watch is paired with a stainless steel Speidel U.S.A. expansion bracelet. According to provided information, the movement runs then stops, and the calendar function is operational.

The movement is currently intermittent, as it runs then stops. The Speidel expansion band shows surface wear and accumulated dirt consistent with age. This item is suitable for parts or restoration.
