Description

Half hunter pocket watch and stop watch, both inscribed on back 'D (upright arrow) D/1915' (Department of Defence), the first one in nickel plate with white dial and separate seconds dial, both with Arabic numerals, face marked 'Unicorn, Incabloc', the second in steel with white dial and subsidiary dial, both with Arabic numerals. Both appear to be working, very fine. (2)

The 1915 appears not to represent a year because the trademark Incabloc was not in existence until after 1934. Also, the name Unicorn was first used by Rolex in 1919 and used by them until 1933 but anything marked Incabloc is not made by Rolex, hence post 1933.
