Notes: This model is known as the 'Pre-Cellini' model. They are manual wind watches based on the 1210 movement. They are usually made with 14K yellow cases, white dials and arrowhead hour marks. These were very common corporate retirement gifts and will frequently be seen with corporate logos on the dial as well as engraving on the back "To so-and-so for XX years of service at the such-and-such company."
Mechanism:
This calibre dates from the mid 1950s. The calibre 1210 was one of the many derivations of the old Hunter 10½ movement, which dated back to the 1920s. The 1210 was one of the last of these manual wind movements, unlike the original 10½ movement it features shock protection on the balance & escape pivots. These movements usually feature 17 jewels, and were used in the 3038 series of 'Pre-Cellini' watches.

The 1210 is the sister to the 1215, with the primary difference being that the 1215 has a date feature where the 1210 does not.
