The watch has been polished. The numbers are visible between the lugs. The inside case back has watchmaker’s marks and is stamped ‘IV.64.’ The lume plot at 7 o’clock appears to be redone. The rest have darkened and some are partially deteriorated. The dial and hands have developed a patina. The hands appear to have been possibly relumed. The date changes as the hands pass midnight. The movement is in working order at the time of cataloging, consistent with the age of the watch. The movement has not been tested for accuracy. A service is recommended given the age of the watch.
