Very good vintage condition for its age. The dial shows natural ageing, patina and small age-related marks. The steel case is well preserved with light signs of wear, and the crystal and strap are in usable condition. The watch runs and keeps time; the chronograph functions (start, stop and reset) have been tested and work correctly. No recent service history is available, so a service is recommended for daily use. Watch only, with no original box or papers.
