Watch is in great condition and has just been fully serviced by M&S Watch Repair in Mountain View. $400. Watch is very accurate, all functions work correctly which is rare for a watch this old. These watches were meant to be worn by airline pilots so I guess it makes sense that they are of high quality. All hands return to zero and like I said, the watch is very accurate keeping within the minute for these past couple days. Power Reserve is roughly 24 hours with the chrono running. Case Size: 35mmThis watch is unique in that it is American made with Swiss parts. You won't find too many American vintage chronograph's around as the market is pretty dry. The value of these pieces will only go up in value. Vintage watches are becoming a good way of diversifying money Watch is very classy looking and is subtle with it. Will definitely catch the eye of any collector out there.All in all a great looking piece that you will love for a long time.
