Waltham Grade 220 Pocket Watch Conversion 43mm Y-1917

From pocket to wrist, honoring history and designed for today.

The Romans Jewelry First Edition wristwatch brings American watchmaking history back to life with an authentic 1917 Waltham pocket watch movement, marked with serial number 21074005. Carefully restored and converted in-house by Romans Jewelry in 2026, this one-of-a-kind timepiece is housed in a polished 43mm stainless steel case measuring 50mm lug-to-lug and 11mm thick. Sapphire crystal on the front and back allows the beauty of the movement to be seen and appreciated.

Inside, you’ll find a Waltham Grade 220, 15-jewel mechanical hand-wind movement, a fine example of early American craftsmanship. The dial is signed Waltham and features a fancy champagne finish with a beautifully textured center, stylized black Arabic numerals, elegant blued steel hands, and a small seconds subdial that preserves its classic pocket watch character.

Finished with a khaki leather strap accented with cream stitching, this First Edition conversion blends vintage charm with modern wearability.
