There are no deep dents or dings visible on the case body. A stepped, polished steel bezel adds wonderful depth to the case profile and shows only very light hairline scratches. The distinctive unsigned onion, or pumpkin, style crown is typical for this design and features well-defined, undamaged fluting. Turning the watch over, the exhibition caseback displays crisp and fully legible engravings. The domed acrylic crystal is clear, providing a clean view of the dial from all angles without any major scratches, crazing, or chips.
