EVERITE ATP

[MIKE...]

Can any of you military guys shed any light on this ATP I picked at the car boot sale.
Stainless steel case. A service mark for 1954. Some other service type marks but I can't make them out as being a date.
The movement is an Everite IS this right I can find no reference to ATP and Everite. May be it's had a movement swap some time over the years?







Any information greatly received.
Many thanks
Mike

Hi

You have not heard of them because they do not exist

The case and dial are Fortainmellon

The Movement should be a font cal 150 check under the balance it may be the the wheel has been changed

I'm pretty sure that "Everite" was a trade name of some watches sold by H Samuel.

Thanks for the info, Ian. I can't see 150 under the balance but have no knowledge to take it apart for a closer look. It is stamped Swiss Made 15 jewel would the Fortainmellon be !5 jewel?

Yes Eddie, Everite was the brand name for H.Samual.

Hi

I have checked and the movement does not look like a Font150

If the movement does not have any marking under the balance it can be identified by either the setting parts under the dial or manufactures mark and calibre.

Everite would only be a trade name marked on a swiss ebouche

All ATP were 15 jewel but Enicar used both 15 and 17 jewel movements

Cheers

Thanks Ian, for your time and effort on this. It has no other marks as I can see, so it's looking like a movement swap. Anyway nice old watch for a Fiver.
Thanks again

Apart from the "Everite" marking the movement is identical to the one in my unbranded ATP watch. The movement in mine does have "150" marked under the balance wheel.
