Deck watch in case Long Caption: A mahogany deck box fitted with two brass hinges and a simple pressed brass clip-type catch. The top is glazed with a circular 'porthole' on the upper surface. The box is lined with green baize in the lid and the lower half, shaped to the form of the watch. The lid has a brass-plated, folded steel label holder on the inside for an issue card. The bottom of the box is covered with green baize. The silver, open-face case has the winding/setting crown inset into a cylindrical pendant, with a hand-setting push piece on the side of the case to the left at '11 o'clock'.
