Royal Observatory Greenwich Moondial Half Hunter Pocket Watch

£150.00

A chrome-plated half-hunter pocket watch and chain from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, with a moon phase dial.  This pocket watch is one of our timepieces from Royal Observatory Greenwich, the home of Greenwich Mean Time.

Our exclusive Royal Observatory Greenwich Moondial Pocket Watch is part of our gift collection inspired by Time & the Prime Meridian.

What is a half hunter pocket watch?

A half hunter pocket watch has a protective case that features a front viewing window which allows you to quickly and easily tell the time, even when the case is closed.

To open the front case, press the button on top of the winder gently. 

To close the case, depress the winder and gently close the lid rather than clicking the case shut, as snapping the case closed can damage the latch.

The watch face is white with black Roman numerals with period-style hands.  An outer dial shows the passing of the minutes in five-minute intervals, marked with red Arabic numerals.

The window on the front of the case is surrounded by Roman numerals, so the time shows without having to open it.

How to set the time of your pocket watch

Gently pull the watch crown fully out and turn it to move the watch hands to set the time. Then push the crown down into position.

Winding a mechanical pocket watch

To maintain the accurate running of your watch, we recommended that it be wound a little every day, turning the crown smoothly in a clockwise direction. Stop when resistance is felt as over-winding or forceful winding can damage the movement. Reset the time each day.
