Accuracy and power reserve have not been tested, and the service history is unknown, so a professional cleaning or adjustment may be required for daily use. The original dial has a beautiful vintage patina. The chrome-plated case shows significant signs of age and wear, including brassing and scratches. The acrylic crystal has surface scratches consistent with age. The bracelet clasp is marked “SEIKO,” which shows it is an aftermarket replacement and not original to the watch.
