AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pallas Eppo Automatic – 25 Jewels - Tonneau - Made in Germany

Condition:

Very rare and sought-after collector’s piece in very good condition. The watch runs perfectly. The acrylic crystal shows only minimal micro-scratches, which can be polished out if desired. The case shows only light, age-related wear, which is hardly noticeable on the wrist.

Date setting is performed via the 24-hour cycle by turning the hands forward.

Origin:
From a collector

Important information:

The watch has been adjusted and inspected and runs perfectly.

No guarantee on accuracy, stable running or water resistance can be provided.

Notes:
Technically the watch has been tested and functions perfectly. All photos are unedited and taken with a macro lens to depict the actual condition as honestly and in as much detail as possible. The pictures are part of the description.

Description:
Rare Pallas Eppo Automatic from the 1970s with a distinctive Space-Age and racing look. The angular tonneau case, the integrated stainless steel bracelet, and the silver sunburst dial perfectly embody the futuristic design language of that era.
