● Condition Note
The watch is currently running and ticking. However, please note that it has not been tested for daily timekeeping accuracy or long-term power reserve. Due to its vintage nature and age, the watch is being sold completely "as-is," and we offer absolutely no guarantees or warranties regarding its future mechanical performance, timekeeping precision, or water resistance. Overhaul or servicing may be required by the buyer for daily use.
