This strong movement is cased in a Swiss hallmarked Sterling silver case with a unique design patented and marked JF (Jean Finger) which composes of double casing where the external ring is a screw-on type and the internal part is hinged within the monobloc case. The case is in excellent condition with two original mineral crystals and crown.

The dial may have been restored in the past with the correct print and has a nice set of black hands.
