Omega Electronic f300 (ESA9164) Tuning Fork Wristwatch

  
This watch has a tuning fork movement designed by ESA under licence from Bulova. It's pretty much original apart from the glass and the strap. The dial is a very dark blue colour which looks black at certain angles. It has a day/date function which is considerably more reliable than the date only function. It has a quick set function where the first pull out setting of the crown changes date only in one direction and day+date in the other.

It runs accurately (a few seconds lost per day) on modern silver oxide batteries although it doesn't start as well as with the older mercury batteries - I overcome this by pressing the crown in sharply after setting to time. My other f300 behaves in exactly the same way with modern batteries. It was made sometime in the 70's so it's pushing 50 years old. There are plenty of little marks from regular use but it looks better on the wrist than highlighted by flash photography.

It measures 42mm lug to lug and 38mm wide 40mm inc. Also, please bear in mind that this is a vintage watch which will one day require servicing by a specialist - it's not a cheap quartz movement.
