Square case
14k white gold filled
edge pattern and matching frame on the back
interesting double hinge tri opening.
blue steel hands
Four adjustments to movement
Any info about this would be appreciated!
I couldn't find a date symbol on the movement.
Nice watch, NYC. I love the oldies.
Without a date code, I don't think we can pinpoint this model, as several different models used this case. It's probably not a 1925 watch, as stated in your listing, because that would make it a Diplomat, but the Diplomat did not have the seconds register. It's most likely an Ambassador, dated somewhere between 1926 and 1929. We see a lot of those. After that, this case was called the Envoy, so that's also a possibility.
Am I not seeing a T next to the serial number? That would date it to 1932, and the watch would be an Envoy.
It is possible to have no date code. I have two or three like that, and they are all early models.
Tenative Envoy. I have two of the 29's, a white gold and a yellow gold like this but it has a 10A in it for a power plant. Mine are Ambassadors.
Case SN dates this to 1926, if the date on the mvmnt. is a "T" for 1932 it may be a re-case. BTW, are we discounting the case SN for dating a watch now? If so, I need to edit some of mine in the DB.
We are still using the first digit of case SN to date the 1924-49ish movements.
I think subject watch is a 1926 Ambassador.
Tri fold Case - 1926
'AMBASSADOR' works.
Isn't there a triangle date symbol next to the movement serial number? If so, 1926 movement and case.
1926 Ambassador
Hands are incorrect for the 1926 Ambassador, it should have lume spade or lume cathedral hands if I am not mistaken.
