Please note: 
This is a vintage watch, produced many-many years ago. Their accuracy is not as good as Quartz watches. Timekeeping error within few seconds per day is considered very good.
The watch brings along the history of the previous owner (or owners), either a careful owner working in an office maybe an engineer, a doctor or a working man on the street, a labourer??
