A solid Swiss pocket watch with a striking railway dial and a 17-jewel Incabloc movement that winds, sets, and runs exactly as it should. Comes with a chrome curb link chain.

Prisma is the oldest Dutch watch brand, founded in 1948 with a mission to bring quality Swiss-movement timepieces to everyday buyers. By 1955 the brand had over 125,000 wearers in the Netherlands alone - Johan Cruijff was among them. This open-face pocket watch dates to the 1950s or 1960s and represents Prisma at its most purposeful: a bold railway-style white dial with 24-hour outer track in blue, sub-seconds at 6, and a well-specified 17-jewel Swiss manual wind movement with Incabloc shock protection and antimagnetic certification.

It winds smoothly, sets easily on the pull-out crown, and keeps good time. The chrome case measures 42mm and shows honest surface wear - light scratches, no dents. Dial and crystal are near-perfect. A chrome curb link chain with swivel clip is included, ready to use.

A clean, purposeful piece from a brand with real European heritage. Good condition, full function, comes with chain.
