NOTES: At first glance, this watch appears to be a President. However, this watch is smaller than the very similar President, and, unlike the President, this one has mitered corners on the bezel. The only known ad for the Windsor is dated 1926, as is this watch. I also have a 1928 version of this model. G-S Crystal Catalog 1937 lists the Windsor as taking a crystal of the same size and shape required by this example.
