Astral Smiths made in England solid 9ct gold vintage gents wristwatch with a standard British Rail employee's details

9ct gold hallmark for London 1969. The case width without the crown is about 33mm, the thickness is 10mm and like the rest of this English watch is in excellent condition. Now fitted with a new ZRC alligator pattern brown strap in 17mm.

SCW stamped case note that additional S stamp is the Shackman trademark, so presumably actually manufactured by them. The movement is a 60466e caliber , military with hack setting . In this movement as many of the civilian used ones the hairspring is the anti-magnetic variety not the blued steel one.
