Accutron Date 10k RGP c.1974
For traditionally styled Accutron models, this is about as good as it gets.
A 1974 model with gold plated case and caseback, displaying a beautiful hemispherical sun ray dial with contrasting gold colored indices, date window, and dauphine-style hands. It truly is about as clean as it gets.
Housing a classic 2181 (Cal. 218) tuning fork movement with a brand new battery and -- most surprisingly -- original signed Corfam leather band, you won't be disappointed with this stunning timepiece.

[All vintage watches are expected to function as described. However, due to age and generally unknown service history (unless otherwise stated), these watches may not keep time as accurately as new or quartz (battery) watches. This is completely normal and does not indicate that there is a major problem. Like your automobile, all mechanical watches will likely need to be serviced at some point in time. Please keep this in mind, as there is no guarantee regarding when these vintage watches may need standard maintenance. Every watch sold by Buying On Time is done so with the expectation that it is not currently in need of service or repair, unless noted. We guarantee that all watches sold are accurately described and in the stated condition when they leave our hands.]
