This is a truly stunning, 1940's all original Leonidas triple date moon phase calendar wristwatch with fancy two tone brushed and polished solid stainless steel case, fancy horn lugs and slick rounded profile. It is keeping great time with all 4 calender functions working well after being recently serviced by our watchmaker. The crescent moon red tip hand points to the date at the outer rim of the dial. This watch was produced in the 1940's a few years before the Leonidas-Heuer conglomeration formed. A rare and highly sought after high quality complicated timepiece at a great price.
