With all due apologies to the Seiko guys, this is basically the perfect common laborer's work watch. It was cheap, $4.20, tax included, at the thrift shop....it keeps perfect time....never needs a battery.....has a day and date feature, which does come in handy, as I do have to date paperwork even here at the mine......and I will never have to pay for a service in the future. Wait a minute.....maybe I am talking up a Seiko......don't tell the vintage Omega guys. ;-)
