See pic. Watch case measures 34.5 mmm across and from top to bottom of lugs is 43 mm. Round dial is set in base metal case with a partially symmetrical fluted bezel. Dial has unique quarterly markers with long metallic streaks and dauphine hands. Dial reads Lowy, 17 jewels, Skyship. Style is likely from the late '50s or early 60s and has a bit of "Space Age" look to it. Stainless Steel back has Shockprotected and Waterproof markings as well as Cased and Timed in Switzerland. The case is quite thin, about 5 mm if without the crystal. Watch is powered by a Swiss ETA 2390 17 jewel manual wind movement that winds, runs and sets well. The crown is offset at the 3:30 position which is a little unusual but comfortable. Mounted on a Silver Speidel Expansion bracelet. $55 ppd to Canadian addresses.
