Condition Report:
DIAL: the dial is in unrestored condition. It was most likely never even cleaned and it presents intact and strong graphics without losses - including the accent and other tiny details of the signature. The zapon appears unmolested, the windows for the day and month feature sharp edges as does the moonphase aperture. Moderate oxidation marks are present in places.
CASE: the case is in very good condition, with minor signs of polishing and wear. The pinholes are distanced from the sides of the lugs, the satin finish to the band is present and the hallmark to the band is discernible; the one underneath the lug is deep and crisp. The calendar corrector pushers do not show excessive wear. The crown is later.
MOVEMENT: the movement is ticking at the time of cataloguing, the chronograph works properly and the calendar advacnes when the hands pass midnight. A service for oiling and cleaning is suggested given the age of the watch.
