It features beautiful Ctes de Genve (Genevastripes) decoration on the bridges.2. Exquisite Cloisonn Enamel Crest on the Back CoverThe center of the back cover features an authentic Orient Express emblem, beautifully crafted using traditional Cloisonn Enamel. The deep royal blue background perfectly replicates the body color of the legendary luxury train cars, housing a 3D gold-relief lion crest. It remains in flawless condition with no peeling or fading after 32 years.3. Freshly Overhauled on September 3,2023This timepiece has been recently serviced (complete overhaul) in September 2023. The winding feels incredibly smooth, and the pocket watch ticks vigorously and accurately with that uniquely deep, powerful mechanical rhythm.4.
