The crown features a blue clear top, a detail occasionally seen on vintage watches like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI was honestly surprised—astonished, even—at how accurately it functions despite its age. It ticks away almost noisily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt feels even more energetic and accurate than the pieces from around the 70s that I often see. It still has plenty of life left in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLooking into it, I found that watches from this era, before manufacturers chased things like shock resistance, are often built more simply and sturdily. It is such a relief not to have to worry about it just because it's a piece of machinery and an old one at that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThere is a delicacy to it that feels French, though it might be Central European. The details are unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI apologize for sounding like a broken record, but silver watches are truly one of those items that have become impossible to buy lately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI worked hard to track this one down for the New Year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe other day in Prague, I met a girl my age who loves manual-wind watches for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe bonded over the fact that making it a daily habit to wind them is truly the best thing ever (laughs).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI find myself wanting all sorts of different designs. They really are the best accessories, well worth the care and affection you give them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIf possible, please wind the crown fully and set the time at the same time every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePlease be aware that for a manual-wind watch to last a lifetime, it will eventually require an overhaul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003efree shipping \/ Free shipping\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ematerial - Material silver 835\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003esize - Size 15.2cm\u003cbr\u003emodel wrist - Model's wrist 14cm \/ Can be worn by a male model with a 15cm wrist.
