Condition: This timepiece presents in very fine and impressive condition. The rare red numeral dial is excellent with no visible flaws. The movement runs and the chronograph and split functions are working. The repeat is chiming very well with a loud, clear and pleasant tone. The case is good. A very tiny area of the red enamel is missing at the top of the initial "V". Heritage does not guarantee timekeeping accuracy. We always recommend servicing for daily use and timekeeping accuracy.
