NOTES: I have quite a collection of these very similar, rectangular models from the 1920s. I'll do my best to compare them here. This model is very close to the two watches that I have identified as the Windsor, but it is a little larger. At this point, I don't know which of the two different versions is the Windsor and which is an unknown model.
This Model:
- 36mm x 23mm case dimensions
- 23.5mm x 17.8mm crystal dimensions
- berry and leaf pattern on bezel with a single flower in center on all four sides
- mitered corners on bezel
- 14K GF
- 15 jewels
1926 Windsor and 1928 Windsor :
- 33.4mm x 21.8 case dimensions
- 22.3mm x 17.4mm crystal dimensions
- berry and leaf pattern on bezel with a single flower in center on all four sides
- mitered corners on bezel
- 14k GF
- 15 jewels
-
36.4mm x 24.1 case dimensions
-
24.5mm x 19.2mm crystal dimensions
-
arrow patten on bezel with a single flower in center on all four sides
-
straight (unmitered) corners leading into lugs
-
14k GF
-
17 jewels
Two other somewhat similar models are the: 1929 Dictator and 1929 Unknown, but they have a noticeably different engraving pattern on the bezel, and the Dictator case is curved rather than flat.
