This wristwatch is in amazing condition, keeps good time, quickset day and date works as should. changing when midnight is reached. I don't know anything about its water proof, so I don't encourage to take a bath or swim with it unless a proper test.

Please look carefully pictures. Wristwatch as far as I know is fully functional and keeps good time. Remember it is a wristwatch of more 30 years ago. Here some news (in Italian):
