Will fit up to a 7 3/4 inch wrist.Circa: 1978Condition: Watch appears unpolished. Tiny dings and surface scratches evenly distributed about the case and even softening of lug corners commensurate with age. Nearly pristine bezel insert with slight fade and barely perceptible “ding” at about the 63 mark. Perfect dial and hands. Retains original Omega hesalite crystal with logo at center.Nice crown with no dings. Case back stamps strong but black enamel “filler” is no more. Tiny dings about the case back center most likely caused from the clasp hitting that section when the watch was off the wrist. Slight stretch to bracelet. Nice action on both buttons and snappy sweep return. Winds smoothly. Tight hinge and snap to close inner box. Outer box has scuffs to corners and shows some fatigue. The watch sets, winds and runs and the chronograph function is working correctly, however, the service history is unknown and is sold with no further warranty. As always, a fresh service is recommended for everyday use. Heritage Auctions strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.
