Not a large watch, this mens Octagon measures 31mm wide and the crown and guards add a couple more millimeters. It features a stainless steel case with octagonal bezel, classic white Roman dial with blue steel "epee" hands, and mechanical movement.
Unlike the quartz version of the Santos, this more desirable mechanical example possesses an automatic movement and in a way showcases the timeless art of traditional watchmaking.
The watch presents as beautiful condition. With the exception of the gem in the crown, which appears to have been replaced at some point, on the wrist the rest of the watch presents nearly as mint with just of a few small remnants of marks on the bracelet. It presents as about a 9.0 out of 10.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
