Rare WWI Octagonal Shaped Trench Watch withShrapnel Screen 7J Beleco Swiss

All photographs are part of the description. We are not jewelers or gemologists. All of our jewelry is pre-owned from estates. We test the gold and guarantee it to be that purity. We test the gems with a Presidium Gem tester. The gem tester cannot distinguish between a treated stone or and a natural untreated stone. For example, rubies and sapphires are more likely treated than natural. The gem tester also cannot distinguish between a man-made carbon diamond and one that occurs naturally and is mined from the earth. Here is a men's wristwatch from Beleco Watch Co. Cased in an octagonal shaped World War I era Octagonal Military wrist watch.

The case and movement are Swiss. The watch measures approximately 33 millimeters wide, and has both it's original shrapnel guide and leather band. There is brassing on the case, the band is very fragile, with the thin strap actually being broken. I understand there are replacement bands available.

I believe it has a glow in the dark dial. The watch is also missing the crystal, and, is not working. It is marked on the movement, Beleco Watch Co. Over Switzerland, over 7 Jewels. Please review the photos for a complete description.
