Helgray 2015/16 California Ref. 1506 All SS Quartz Watch w/2 Original Leather Straps

This is a beautiful and accurate quartz watch in near mint condition from a respected independent brand. The watch battery needs to be replaced, but otherwise this piece is in full working condition. There are no scratches or nicks of any kind that I can see. The text below comes from the original release announcement.

Please note: I changed the battery two years ago, and the watch has been working flawlessly since. It just needs a new battery. 

The California uses a California dial – Roman numerals on the upper half of the dial and Arabic on the bottom half – with a sub-seconds dial at 6 o’clock. It is powered by the Ronda 6004.B movement. The GMT has a similar outer track as the Field Officer dial, only rather than numbered for 12 hours it has a 24 hour scale for the GMT hand. It has the dual time and seconds, but no date, running on the Ronda 515.24H movement.
