► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a Rare Vintage Orient Chrono Ace men’s automatic dress sports watch, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) in the 1970s. Powered by a 23-jewel automatic movement, this is a distinctive vintage Orient model that combines the bold styling of the era with the brand’s reliable in-house mechanical craftsmanship. The watch features a beautiful green dial complemented by a beautiful faceted crystal, giving it a striking appearance on the wrist. The watch is running and holding accurate time, but it will likely need a service in order to continue operating properly. The quick-set date pusher is not working properly and will need to be repaired. However, the day and date both advance automatically past midnight as they should. All parts of the watch are original, including the original Orient signed bracelet. The watch shows signs of use and age. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.
