half-hunter

Partially covered watch

A half-hunter is a pocket watch with a protective metal case that has a small glass or crystal window in the center, allowing the wearer to read the time without fully opening the cover.

This design offers more protection than an open-face watch while remaining more convenient than a full hunter, which must be opened completely to check the time.
