This watch looks to be in amazing condition considering it's age. Very nice. The green leather band really sets it off.

Alex  Does the movement have a square date code?

Yes, barely visible. Had to look really really well. I had another look at it after I discovered the system of movement serial numbers. The low number indicated it should be from after 1926. And then I found the square! Discovering the various systems in movements and case signatures helped me correct several typo and other mistakes in my database. I will update this record.

So with the square date symbol on movement, should the date for manufacture be 1927?   Looks like the case signature includes the earlier 1924 patent date?
