Specifications:
Movement: 17-jewel automatic
Dial Color: White enamel with black Roman numerals

Condition: Mint!! This might me an understatement of the condition. Just look and the back and the sides of the case. There is hardly any ware to the case. The dial is original and does show some signs of crazing under magnification.
