Smiths 5-jewel watches, often branded as "Smiths Empire," were budget-friendly, mass-produced timepieces made in Wales by the Anglo Celtic watch company—a partnership between Smiths, Ingersoll, and Vickers-Armstrong—primarily during the 1950s and 1960s. While high-end Smiths models like the Deluxe or Everest (produced in Cheltenham) are highly sought after, the 5-jewel Empire models used simpler pin-pallet movements, offering an affordable "Made in Great Britain" option to the public.
