Watch Description

I decided I wanted to get an Accutron for my collection.  This one came with a fresh battery and is running well and keeping time.  I love the textured dial and case.  A 1972 case and 1974 movement which I didn't catch before buying but I am still happy with it.  I have also seen the one with the maroon minute track so I believe this is the 22809-8Y.  I am not going to open this one so I am using the sellers photos for the inside shots.  It is in the 1973, 1974, and 1973-74 linebooks.

Congrats on this one, I can see why you were drawn to buying it. I love how the dial pattern continues over the entire top of the case. Great lugs as well.
