It comes complete with original fitted case.
It comes with a brand new quality black cordette strap and the watch fits a wrist size of up to 7 inches although we can reduce this for you if required. A longer strap can be fitted but this would mean it would not fit in its case.
The 16 jewel movement is an absolutely incredible - gold plated sparkling clean and in like new condition, this is a movement from the golden age of Swiss watchmaking during which Vertex were regarded as the best.
As you would expect from Vertex the watch is fully marked movement and the case is also marked platinum and has been fully tested.
