Authentic WWI Vintage Ingersoll Pin-Lever Trench Watch (Circa 1916–1917)Up for sale is a beautifully authentic piece of military history: an original Ingersoll military trench watch from the 1916–1917 World War I era.Movement Details:
The watch features its historical, original unjeweled pin-lever movement, exactly as issued to and purchased by soldiers heading to the European front during the Great War.
The full-plate movement design retains its stamped factory markings and serial number.
This is a historically accurate example of an authentic \"soldier\'s dollar watch\" configuration from Robert H. Ingersoll & Bro.Dial & Visuals:
The standout feature of this timepiece is its highly sought-after grey triple-sunk dial layout. It showcases beautifully recessed, stepped sub-registers, historic Arabic numerals, and pre-Radiolite, relumed, luminous material on the hands and markers.This rugged survivor perfectly represents the iconic shift from traditional pocket watches to functional combat wristwatches on the battlefields of the Western Front.Please review the high-resolution macro photos closely to inspect the exact cosmetic details of the movement, dial, and casing.The watch currently runs, and keeps time. The winding is, to me, a little stiff, but it does wind and set.
However, being a watch that 100+ years, no guarantees are given for future performance, and no returns.
