This is a glass backed case. Going back a 100 years ago, salesmen from the watch companies would visit shops to show the latest models and rather house them in cases, where the back would have to be removed, they used these cases which had a snap on back with a glass back so the dial and movement were visible. Shops and prospective owners, would select the dial, movement and then the case they wanted for their watch.
This case has an external measurements of 53mm x 20mm and will take almost all 18 size stem wound movements
Case – the white metal case has a hinged back and front and a glass over the dial and over the movement. The case is signed “Hampden Duber.” The case has a smooth plain finish on the back and front with coin edged sides and is in 90% mint condition – light wear.
