- Movement and Functionality
- This timepiece is powered by a quartz movement. According to the auction description, the watch has been provided with a fresh battery and a new seal to assist in maintenance. Despite these updates, the text explicitly cautions against using the watch for swimming, stating that it is not recommended for such activities with vintage or classic pieces. The source clarifies that the seller classifies the water resistance status as "Not Water Resistant," emphasizing that the installation of new seals does not constitute a current certification for water-related activities or pressure testing. There is no provided record of previous repairs or internal inspections of the movement.
