Important Note
This is a genuine NOS (New Old Stock) vintage timepiece that has remained unused for many years and still retains its original factory condition and finishing. Since the watch has been stored for a long period, minor age-related marks, light oxidation, plating fade, tiny scratches, bracelet ageing, or slight surface ageing on metal components may be visible in places. These are normal characteristics of authentic vintage NOS watches and should not be considered regular usage wear.
