The watch has a good quality 15 jewel calibre 560 hand-winding movement which is working nicely. This calibre of movement was first launched in 1945. It is signed with the Marvin name.
The watch is a good size at 39mm excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is chrome plated while the screw-on case back is stainless steel. It is in very nice condition. The back of the water states that the watch is water resistant but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture.
The movement and case are not original to each other.
The lens is in lovely condition. (a little white reflection showing in the photos).
The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands and centre seconds hand. There is light marking across the dial.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
