This is a vintage mechanical watch and may show age-related signs consistent with its era. Mechanical watches can vary in accuracy, power reserve and performance depending on their age, usage and service history. The WATER RESISTANT marking on a vintage caseback should not be considered a guarantee of present-day water resistance unless the watch has been professionally pressure-tested.
