Description/Comments:
Look at this neat retro-mod silver color coordinated '70s design.  It features a rectangular retro designed dial with a day and date feature.  It is Swiss made and has a 17 jewel mechanical wind movement.

This watch is in excellent cosmetic and running condition.  In fact, it keeps very accurate time.

Case:
The square shaped case is a brush finished silver tone metal on the face and a smooth silver tone metal on the sides and measures 1 5/8" across (including the crown) and 1 5/8" (from top to bottom.)  The lugs are recessed within the case allowing the band to fit flush with the edges.  

The back of the case is marked Base Metal Swiss.

Dial:
The rectangular dial is definitely a retro design featuring a smart silver toned color coordinated arrangement.

The dial is marked American Heritage below the 12 o'clock position and 17 Jewels and Swiss Made above the 6 o'clock position.  All lettering is in dark silver tone.

There are three raised rectangular shaped silver toned  hour markers at the 12, 6 and 9 o'clock positions.  Also, in a rectangular form there is a 60 seconds/minutes scale that has small dark silver toned lines.

The date feature is located at the 3 o'clock position and has black lettering for the days against a white background, and red colored Arabic numerals against a white background for the dates.

The straight hour and minutes hands are a silver tone in color with a very sleek streamline running through their middles.  And the straight sweeping seconds hand is a silver tone color as well.

The crystal has a slight curvature surface and is straight around the edges and is raised 2MM above the surface of the case.
