Description/Comments:
Here is a sixties Television Screen shaped wrist watch with a high quality 17 jeweled Swiss made movement.  With the popularity of TV coming into most households in the late fifties and early sixties it was only fitting that watch designers utilize the popularity and create watches with that "TV" look.  This is a wonderful example of the sixties TV watch.
Case:
The "TV" shaped case has what appears to be a pink gold plating.  It measures 1 3/8" across (including the crown) and 1 3/8" (lug to lug.)  It is 1/4" thick.  The case back is marked Stainless Steel Back, Swiss Made and has the numbers 1220.

Dial:
The TV shaped dial has a very nice light silver satin sheen colored background.  The raised hour markers are square and rectangular shaped.  The 12 and 6 o'clock positions are square with two applied black colored vertical stripes on their surface.  The 9 o'clock position is rectangular shaped with two applied black colored horizontal stripes on its surface.  The 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 11 o'clock positions are square in shape and have an applied black colored central square on their surface.

The date feature is located at the 3 o'clock position and has black Arabic numerals against a white background.

 It is marked VeriWatch and 17 Rubis below the 12 o'clock position, and the VeriWatch emblem above the 6 o'clock position, and Swiss below 6 o'clock position.  

The baton-style hour and minute hands are gold in color with a center streamlined section that is black in color.  

The crystal is curved in the center and straight around its edges.  It is raised 2MM above the case at its central area and 1MM at the end.
