The pointer on the cross bar reads on the nama gata scale according to the season of the year, eliminating the need for changing the scale, adjusting the numerals, or switching foliots as required on other Japanese models. The old weight has had a lump of lead added to it to improve performance. The mvt is in good condition and ticks and with original key. The case has original finish, original hood and original key drawer. This rare piece is in very good condition, small crack in top glass.
