This seldom seen vintage 1970's Sovereign has a black "SWISS MADE" signed dial that has a significant gouge that extends from the base of the handset to below the "6."  The lume on the dial and hands, which remains fully intact and emits a faint glow after being exposed to bright light, has aged gracefully.  The black bezel, which shows wear and rotates bidirectionally with an appropriate amount of tension, presents nicely.  The chrome-plated case shows considerable wear and brassing.  The outside of the case back is stamped "REMOVE RING" followed by "OPEN THRU CRYSTAL,""WATERPROOF,""SHOCKRESISTANT" and "ALUMINUM."  The crystal shows significant scratching and spotting.    

While I normally show pictures of the movements of watches I put up for sale this movement can only be accessed through the crystal. Because what should be a manual movement does not run and can't be shown assume it's missing. Although the time can be set the non-screwdown crown cannot be wound. This watch is being sold for parts only.

This watch measures approximately 35 mm excluding the crown, approximately 37.5 mm including the crown and approximately 18.75 mm between the lugs.  Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the bezel is approximately 7.5 mm.  Including the crystal thickness measures approximately 9 mm.  

This watch is being sold for parts only.  As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch.  Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old-school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time.  For this watch that time is now.  Any restoration/servicing costs going forward are your responsibility.

Please thoroughly read this entire listing and kindly ask any and all questions you may have prior to buying as this sale is final and no refunds of any kind will be given.  And please study the 13 high magnification pictures carefully as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this watch.

Expedited and insured shipping will be provided.  Thanks for looking!
