Westclox Pocket Ben Mechanical Pocket Watch

This is an antique Westclox 'Pocket Ben' open-face pocket watch, likely dating from the 1930s to the 1940s. The watch features a circular silver-tone base-metal case with a polished bezel. The dial is a notable two-tone champagne or golden-yellow finish with a matte central circle and a brushed outer track. It displays clear, black Art Deco-style Arabic numerals and a dedicated sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position for tracking seconds. The hands are black, thin leaf-style indicators. The dial is clearly marked 'Westclox POCKET BEN' below the 12 and 'MADE IN U.S.A.' at the very bottom edge. It includes a fluted crown for winding and time-setting, topped with a sturdy bow that is currently attached to a metal chain. Regarding condition, the watch shows signs of age-related wear including fine surface scratches on the metal case and crystal. The dial appears fairly well-preserved though it may have some minor discoloration or patina. The overall construction reflects the durable, 'dollar watch' craftsmanship Westclox was famous for during the early-to-mid 20th century, prioritizing functional reliability over luxury materials.
