Albion 15 Jewels Mechanical Roman Numeral Dial Antimagnetic Watch

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Albion brand mechanical wristwatch, presented here with a round, light-colored dial and clearly visible black Roman numerals. The red second hand contrasts sharply with the black hour and minute hands, offering excellent legibility. The dial bears the inscription "Albion" as well as the indications "15 Rubis" and "Antimagnetic," directly visible on the upper part of the dial.

The watch case features a shiny metallic finish, with a smooth bezel and a simple outline, without superfluous decorations. The notched crown is positioned at 3 o'clock, moderate in size and functional in appearance, allowing for manual winding of the mechanical movement, characteristic of watches of this type.

The black strap has a smooth texture and multiple perforations for adjustment. Its width is proportionate to the case, and it fastens with a classic buckle (not visible here). The entire strap and case evoke a sober style, typical of utilitarian watches from the mid to late 20th century.

The red second hand, associated with the mention "Antimagnetic," highlights the technical vocation of this watch, designed to resist weak magnetic fields, which was an important reliability argument at the time of its manufacture. The Roman numerals, elegantly arranged around the dial, recall the classic inspiration of the design.

The watch is photographed placed on a box with a gilded decoration, which highlights the clean aspect of the piece and emphasizes the sobriety of its lines. No major defects are visible on the front of the case, apart from a few micro-scratches from use and a slight patina on the dial, testifying to its previous use.

Did you know? The mention "15 rubies" indicates that the movement of this mechanical watch uses 15 synthetic jewels as bearings to reduce wear and improve accuracy.
