The case back is engraved with the inscription 1987, ALAN BOOTH, 25 YEARS WITH, and the diamond-shaped logo for Tinsley Wire Industries Ltd (TWIL). The watch is mounted on its original Mappin and Webb black lizard-grain leather strap with a gold-plated pin buckle.

Condition report:
The watch is in good vintage condition, exhibiting light surface scratches to the 18ct gold case and acrylic crystal consistent with age and occasional wear. The dial is clean and shows no signs of significant ageing or damage. The leather strap is well-preserved. The quartz movement is currently untested; it may require a new battery to restore functionality.
