The movement is running smoothly. The surfaces are in good aesthetic condition, with some slight dirt and tarnishing, as well as some oxidation on the blued steel screw heads. The dial is in good condition, and the case is generally in good overall condition with some light scratches on the enamel panel. The milling on the band remains crisp, and the covers close securely. The Swiss Helvetia head hallmark is rather rubbed.
