Smiths is known in collectors’ circles as the last true English watch company. A manufacture with deep military and civilian history, both Smiths and Rolex provided Sir Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay with watches on their initial ascent to the top of Mount Everest. This Smiths pocket/travel watch beautifully encapsulates the company's rich expeditionary, military and watchmaking history. The 51mm case, with white enamel dial, provides enough heft and visibility to easily function as a travel clock - remove the watch from it's case and it downsizes to a perfect timepiece, with or without a chain.
A rare and unique piece, this Smiths is the perfect travel companion, desk adornment, or wardrobe accessory.
