Backwinding moved the crown to the caseback, which kept the sides of the case clean and uninterrupted, a refinement favored in ladies’ jewelry watches of the mid-twentieth century. Sized for a slender wrist, the supple bracelet sits close and reads as a line of diamonds with the dial at its center.
