Dating to the 1930s, it features a 19mm stainless steel case, a domed acrylic crystal, and a thin, unsigned crown. Complemented by satin silver dial, it has two individual subsidiary dials: an upper display printed Breguet numerals, a ‘railroad’ minute track, and a matching, blued-steel handset, and a lower display with a large, constant-seconds counter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOutfitted on a brown lizard-pattern leather strap and powered by manually-wound movement that’s fresh off a professional service, this piece is a tool watch in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/blogs\/transmissions\/why-you-need-a-dress-watch\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003edress watch\u003c\/a\u003e clothing!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Asprey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40773796954199,"sku":"40991297","price":1850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS08340_40991297_ASPREY_DOCTORSWATCH_4413D-6.jpg?v=1730496133","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/asprey-doctors-watch-as08340","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
