At first glance, this looks similar to a WWII model, however it actually predates World War I, and has brass tub, screw bezel, and unique 6 inch embossed dial with a dark background. The rear of the case with Chelsea trademark and serial number 72,277. Note the bezel has been dropped at least once by seaman and has been straightened with a ball peen (not a bad job). Diameter 7.5 inches
