HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in March 1967.
CONDITION
The easiest way to know that this Business model was not intended for export is the day window, which is only in Japanese. If the watch was intended to go for export it would be in English, or possibly French, but the cool Kanji symbols in the window at 6 give the game away that this was a Japanese only model. If you can’t read Japanese (like us), then you won’t mind that the day can not be quick set, but the date can be. The 27 jewel movement is automatic wind only, using the magic finger technology for efficient winding. It is working nicely, and has black writing for the day during the week and blue and red respectively for Saturday and Sunday. The crystal does have a few minor marks, and may not be the correct one for this model – information is limited. The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.

From 1st September 2021 we will be planting a tree for every watch we sell, working with the International Tree Foundation (Est 1922) to make this business positive on carbon. By buying anything pre owned you are effectively reusing what already exists, but this takes it further and makes us feel good.
