The Nº 1905 watch ➡️ Cadbury Dairy Milk The Nº 1905 has a Ronda Quartz movement with a sapphire coated crystal lens, which offers significantly more scratch resistance vs. traditional glass, plastic or acrylic crystal as well as being extremely strong. In 1904, George Cadbury Jnr was given the challenge to develop a milk chocolate bar with more milk than anything else on the market. Dairy Milk was launched in June 1905.

The Nº 1905 classic watch embodies the turn from the pocket watch to the wristwatch by using wire shoulder lugs. This represents the development from just a watch dial, to adding the leather strap.

This is still the largest gem-quality rough diamond to ever be found. Source: @royalcollectiontrust (Royal Collection Trust)
