What is a full hunter watch?

A full hunter watch is a type of pocket watch that features a protective cover over the dial, which opens to reveal the time. This cover, typically made of metal, protects the watch face from damage and dirt. Full hunter watches often have a smooth, rounded case design, distinguishing them from half hunter watches, which have a glass or transparent section to view the time without opening the cover. These watches were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries, often associated with formal attire and vintage style.
