Watch: Gents 1970s Rado Purple Horse Automatic Wrist Watch

The watch has a 25-jewel automatic movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed on the rotor with the Rado name. The watch measures 35mm diameter excluding the original signed Rado winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel with a gold tone fluted bezel. The screw-on case back has the Rado logo together with the wording Water Sealed although, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture. It also has the model number 636.3476.4. The lens is in good condition. The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands, centre seconds hand and a day / date display. To set the day / date, pull the crown to the first position and rotate the crown clockwise to set the date and counter clockwise to set the day. There is some light marking to the dial, not too detrimental. A later leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box.
