What is “hunter” style?
Hunter style pocket watch cases have a lid that covers the dial. The lid is released by pressing down on the stem. If you have a hunter style case it is important to always press the stem down when closing the watch lid as well, rather than “clicking” it closed. The catch on a hunter case wears out very quickly otherwise. If the catch wears down, the watch case will no longer stay closed. A pocketwatch that does not have a lid over the face is called an “open face” watch.
