The movement is currently functioning, the minute counter hand does jump forwards one increment on starting the mechanism, the split seconds complication is working, the movement would probably benefit from a service. The case shows signs of light wear with scratches, marks and tarnishing, with the odd more apparent mark sparingly found. The inside of the case has evidence of what appears to be repair. The pendant pusher is slightly worn with marks from where the exterior pusher on the utility case contacts it. The glass has light scratches and chips to the edge, the hands are lightly tarnished with some patches of surface rust, the dial looks to be in a generally good condition with light scratches most noticeably near the twelve and six o'clock positions. The utility case is quite worn with patches of discolouration, wear to some of the edges and the inner bakelite cradle is cracked. The hinge and locking bolt are currently in good working order.
