Fully signed throughout this pocket chronograph retains is original and unrestored dial with luminous dot markers and original deep blued complete hand set. The fully signed case retails a good set of Naval inspectors Kanji and Anchor stamps to the inner back case. The watch case retains virtually all its original plate and shows only slight wear.
