CASE & BRACELET

DIAL & HANDS
The silver sunburst dial is in wonderful vintage condition with light aging around the edge of the dial. The tritium lume plots have are a lovely yellow coloration, under U.V. light inspection the 4 o'clock and 10'clock lume plots have some very minor degradation and the rest remain fully intact. The original tritium hands match the dial perfectly with no degradation visible under U.V. light inspection.
ACCESSORIES
None. The watch has been recently serviced and is keeping time perfectly, backed by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
