This rare and extremely cool early battery powered by Wittnauer is in great condition and ready to wear. You have to love the concept of behind those awesome lightening bolt hands. These early electrics still used the swinging balance system to regulate the time much like mechanical watch from years past. The dial on this watch is near perfect with only a small patch of very slight discoloration near 3:00, barely worth mentioning. A truly unique and stylish timepiece from a vital era in watchmaking history.
