Vintage Note
Please note that this is a pre-owned vintage timepiece approximately 30+ years old. Minor scratches, patina, bracelet stretch, and signs of use are normal characteristics of vintage watches and add to their originality and charm. Water resistance is not guaranteed due to the age of vintage seals and gaskets.
