Overall, the watch is in excellent condition. The original dial with the old logo is in outstanding condition. The dial shows original radium luminous, responding to the geiger counter. The blued sword hands were professionally colour matched to the dial. The watch case is in very good condition, not showing any signs of polishing, very sharp, with clearly visible reference and serial number. The chronograph starts, stops and resets without problems. The watch was just serviced by our watchmaker, running with an amplitude of 280° and +4s/d. The watch was acquired from a gentleman in Sweden. It is special because of the amazing patina and the unpolished Spillman case.
