Accurist 21 Jewel Champagne Dial Manual Winding Watch

A great looking Accurist watch, with a really good champagne dial, a chromed brass case, and a new brown leather strap.
The dial is very good, champagne with stylised applied Arabic numerals, and markers in gold and sub seconds at six - The 33mmx42mm case has plating wear around the lugs - The 21 Jewel movement runs well, and to time.
