The watch is presented in a square wood-bodied travelling case covered in textured black leather, featuring a circular aperture to the front and a fold-out strut to the reverse. The dial is printed with the characters FATTORINI & SONS above the centre and BRADFORD below. There are small, illegible characters along the bottom edge of the dial.
