𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 Trench watches first became prominent in the 1910s-20s during world war 1 as a solution to convenient time keeping, with the timepiece strapped to their wrist instead of having to pull out one's pocket watch to check the time. Similarly here, the trench watch in question has both the fundamental design of a pocket watch as well as a wrist watch. Rolex was one of many companies that produced trench watches, which gained popularity during World War I. These watches were a practical evolution from pocket watches, with features like a metal grille, luminous dials, and unbreakable glass to withstand combat conditions. The necessity of wrist-worn timepieces for coordinating attacks ultimately led to the wristwatch becoming the standard for men's watches after the war., Basic Info Reference number - Brand ROLEX Serial number - Case Material Stainless steel Bracelet Material Leather Year of production 1920's Condition Fair Scope of delivery Watch only Gender Men Dial Colour Porcelain , Case Case Diameter 34mm Case Material Stainless steel Bezel No bezel Insert - Bracelet/Strap Bracelet Material Leather Bracelet Color Brown Clasp Tang Buckle Clasp Material Stainless steel
