Waltham 1908-Royal Lever Set Variant.

My previous post was on the 1899 & 1908 Royal Grade, this is a rare Lever Set version from 1919.

A total of around seventy-five thousand 1899 & 1908 Royal grade movements were made but they are normally pendant set. The production records show that only five production runs totalling 4,000 movements included some open faced lever set variants, what the proportion was is not known, all are 1908 models dating from 1919 or later.

Apart from the lever setting the movement is the same as the 1908 pendant set version.
