A guide for this piece: about $1,631, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.

The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

The Piece

Its S-series identity to 1993 and describes tritium luminous material, but no new serial, luminous-compound or component-originality test has been made. Recorded work includes overhaul, case and bracelet refinishing, a new mainspring and replacement back, crown and crystal gaskets. Wrist fit is about 17.2 cm, not a freshly checked bracelet capacity.

Dial/bezel: Black dial and black aluminium timing bezel

Condition

Glass and dial were as clean after the work. A past dial-up rate was about +5 seconds/day, not a current accuracy test. No original accessories. Current bezel movement, crown threads, clasp engagement, timekeeping and seals need hands-on checks despite the overhaul and replacement parts. See Japanese condition ranks.

Authenticity & Care

Keep dry until a qualified watchmaker has checked the crown, seals and mechanism. Do not open the back, polish the case or disturb luminous material at home. Inspect bracelet joints and clasp engagement before wear.
