Skeleton
Diamond Tooled

Here is a SUPER cool, incredibly clean, partial skeleton wristwatch by Orion! It has a very smooth, 36 mm black dial showing off some of the inner mechanisms. Perhaps one of the coolest things about this watch is the black and white checkered sweep second. The dial is also lightly luminous and features baton indices and subtle silver minute marks.
This vintage watch is in incredibly clean condition, leading us to believe it is near new old stock, never worn. The caseback and bezel are a plated base metal, and the caseback reads Swiss Made, Base Metal, Electronically Timed, Diamond Tooled, and inside reads, Basis Watch, Swiss, Base Metal Case.
The Swiss movement features one jewel and is unadjusted. The 24 mm original strap is a two-piece black leather hole-punched strap with a silver-toned buckle.
If you are looking for a cool, unique wristwatch for yourself or as a gift, this one fits the bill as it keeps great time and is in beautiful condition!

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
