Roy Rogers’ Eska Amphibian Watch
600 automatic Swiss-made, serial #1079, waterproof, pressure proof, shockprotected, with expandable stainless steel watch band. Roy was a 33rd degree Mason and the watchband is adorned with his Mason compass- over-square emblem. ESKA is a brand name and simultaneously means SK, an abbreviation of Sylvan Kocher & Cie SA in Grenchen, Selzach, and Baltimore. The export brand of this manufacturer for the USA was Royce (probably known better). The company was founded in 1922 in Selzach (Switzerland), and Walter Kocher, New York imported their watches since the beginning through the fifties.
