What's Included & Condition Details

• Two Band Options: Comes currently mounted on a brand new, high-quality, standard-sized black lizard grain leather strap that perfectly elevates the classic 1940s aesthetic. Also included in the package is its original vintage gold-tone stretch bracelet, allowing you to easily swap back to the period-correct look.
