Smiths Everest A404

$900
This is a lovely example of one of the iconic Smiths models - the A404. The design is somehow perfectly of it's time - this particular example dates from around 1963. It has Smiths workhorse 1215 movement, with the addition of shock protection.

It's in the Dennison Aquatite case, which is chrome plated with a screw on stainless steel back. The plating is in good condition, which is rare for this model. Dial has developed a lovely warm colour over the years and the overall impression is very elegant.

This model is branded "Everest" - Smiths watches were carried to the summit of Everest by Hilary and Norgay and this model celebrates that, indeed it was presented as being the model that was used by the party although the actual watch (on display in the Science Museum in London) is slightly different.

Fully serviced with a new crystal and strap, the watch is ready to be worn and enjoyed by a new owner.


Case diameter: 33mm
Case material: chromed brass / stainless steel caseback
Strap width: 16mm
time keeping: grade A

Shipping guide for t-shirts

All t-shirts on our website are now printed and shipped by an external supplier inside the United States. This means that if you place an order for both a watch and a t-shirt, they will be shipped separately.

Our supplier uses a tracked service for all shipments and this usually takes a little longer than our watches. You can see an estimated timescale when you input your address at the checkout.

  

During busy sale periods dispatch may take a little longer (this is quite rare). These delivery times are a guide based on the Fedex and Royal Mail terms of service, products may, in some unusual cases take longer to arrive. If this happens, please get in touch.
