Antique Western Special Extra Quality Adjusted Pocket Watch Non Running

Antique Western Special Extra Quality Adjusted pocket watch with locomotive dial design, Roman numerals, and sub-seconds register, offered as a non-running restoration or parts piece with original VOGUE of Calif. saddle leather case.

This is a pre-owned antique pocket watch marked “Western Special Extra Quality Adjusted” on the dial, featuring a detailed steam locomotive illustration at the center. The dial displays black Roman numerals, gold gilt scroll accents, and red jewel-style markers surrounding the chapter ring, along with a sub-seconds dial at the 6 o’clock position.

The watch is currently non-running and is being sold for restoration, repair, or display. Mechanical condition is unknown beyond not functioning. The dial shows visible hairlines, cracking, discoloration, and age-related wear. The hands exhibit oxidation, and the case has surface wear and patina consistent with age. The back features a subtle engraved floral motif.

Included is a vintage brown leather presentation box stamped “VOGUE of Calif. Saddle Leather” in gold lettering. The leather case shows scuffs, finish wear, and natural patina from age and handling, adding to its antique appeal. The interior is fitted to hold the watch securely.

Railroad-style pocket watches became highly popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and were prized for legibility and precision. The locomotive dial motif reflects the era’s industrial heritage and makes this an attractive display piece even in non-working condition.

This piece is ideal for collectors of antique timepieces, railroad memorabilia, horology restorers, or those seeking authentic vintage display items.
