Very good vintage condition case without any pitting or corrosion as often observed on these.

The bezel is original, bakelite has partial deteriorated from age but some of it still survived.

Dial is original as are the hands with lollipop seconds hand, which is period correct. The watch still shows high radium Geiger readings.
