Royal Observatory Greenwich Gold Half Hunter Pocket Watch

Regular price £125.00 Sale

The Royal Observatory Greenwich Gold-Plated Half Hunter Skeleton Pocket Watch is a timeless classic, bringing a touch of forgotten elegance to the modern gentleman.

This exclusive pocket watch is one of our luxurious timepiece from Royal Observatory Greenwich, the home of Greenwich Mean Time.

With a high quality mechanical movement and skeleton dial, the watch features black Roman numerals on a brilliant white face with an outer dial showing the passing of the minutes. The hands are a traditional black breguet style in keeping with the period.

The front case features Roman numeral hour markings around the glass window.  Framing these is an engraved garland design.

A matching Albert chain completes the watch and is presented in an attractive gift box, making this timepiece the perfect present for that special someone.

What is a half hunter pocket watch?

A half hunter pocket watch features a protective case with a frontal 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. Press the winder button further to open both the front and back cases.

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

What is a Skeleton dial?

A skeleton dial allows for the operation and mechanics of the watch to be viewed through the watch's face.

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.
