The watch is in good condition with signs of wear, commensurate with its age. The case has been polished, but the numbers remain crisp to the case back. The iniside case back has watchmaker's marks and the movement is stamped 'HOX'. The dial shows signs of age and wear and the outer blue tachymeter scale appears to have been reprinted. The moon phase disc has faded to a brown color. The hands and hour markers have developed a light patina. The chronograph and calendar functions are working at the time of cataloguing, but could use a service. The quick-set pusher at 7 o'clock is stuck and requires service. 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.
