The watch has a 25-jewel automatic movement, an ETA 2783 for Oriosa, which is working nicely.
The watch measures 36.5mm wide excluding the winding crown, and 35mm high excluding the lugs. The case is stainless steel, overall it is in good condition, just a little light marking. The watch is marked as being waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should now be kept away from water and moisture. Bi-directional bezel.
The lens is in good condition with the magnification window over the date display.
The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands and orange centre seconds hand.
The watch comes on a stainless steel bracelet which currently fits a 17.5cm wrist, although there is room on the clasp to make it about 1cm bigger.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
