- Fully serviced, ready to wear
- Vintage used JB Champion Arctic Seal strap
- New crystal

The watch is fully functional and keeping good time with a new battery installed. The day and date change over properly. The case has some scuffs, scratches, dings and wear.
This model of Timex watch was shown being worn by Darren McGavin when he starred as the title character in the 1970s cult classic television show \"Kolchak: The Night Stalker\". This is the same year and model, NOT A SCREEN WORN WATCH / PROP.
I am listing three of these (my last three) just in time for the fall conventions and cosplay / Halloween, so don\'t be alarmed by the multiple ads.
The strap is genuine vintage JB Champion Arctic Seal. It is a little bit on the stiff side, but has been treated with multiple applications of leather conditioner. Due to its age, no guarantees are made regarding durability or longevity.
Please look closely at all of the pictures as they serve as the item condition description. Ships with a new battery installed.
