The movement is not running, but the balance is functioning well. It will require a thorough cleaning and servicing. The plates are tarnished and have a couple of scratches. The dial is in good overall condition, with a small scratch on the centre of the subsidiary seconds disc. The case has light scuffs and scratches, but the milling remains clear, and all hallmarks are visible. The hammerhead key number is 135 for Orixa.
