Condition: Nice original condition overall with honest wear consistent with age and use; solid stainless steel case is thick and sharp with the original edges and bevels in tact; crisp screw-down caseback remains clearly legible; attractive original dial has developed incredible patina over time with matching Radium triangular hour markers; original Radium hands with all luminous material in tact and matching
Other: The dial on this rare Hallmark triple date watch is truly one-of-a-kind, but we fell in love with the blue squiggly date pointer and Radium lume that will light up a Geiger counter. The solid stainless steel case sits comfortably on the wrist and wears larger than its stated size thanks to the side pushers and nice size winding crown. The overall design of this watch was surely ahead of its time in the early 1950s! We recommend pairing it with your favorite tweed jacket, but it can't hurt to show off the unique dial with a t-shirt and jeans.
