Westclox Belfast Style 1 Red Wall Clock

Description:

Belfast electric wall clock in square red case with round metal numeral ring. Manual starting motor.

It has an unusual dial. Black numerals are debossed on a bright metal ring, and this feature combines with black hands that stand out against an ivory tinted background to make an especially legible combination. It has a brass sweep second hand, and a convex glass.

Belfast is equipped with our well known manual starting S2 movement and motor.
