It is fitted on a new 26mm black genuine leather strap

This fine watch winds and sets smoothly and keeps great, accurate time.

Because of the vintage nature of the watch, I cannot guarantee its absolute time keeping accuracy even if they are in good running condition and in some rare occasions may require additional adjustment
