This is a vintage piece serving for last many years. This could run 1-2 minutes slower or faster in 24 hours. Mechanical watches (spring operated watch) either an automatic or hand wind never known to be as accurate as a quartz (battery operated) watches. Their accuracy normally measured by how many seconds per day faster or slower compared to standard time. The accuracy of a quartz watch is measured by how many second faster or slower in a year!!!. To be use as a daily wear, it's recommended the watch to be serviced and oiled.
