A rare cal350, one of just a few hundred. Cal350 was made for just a few weeks and in very low quantities before production was ramped up for the calibers 351, 352 etc, which were made for years and up to 50'000 pieces. The offered one is guaranteed a true cal350 as and most out there are cal351 following. Furthermore, this one is in unworn and NOS condition. The leather strap shows some signs from bending for storage only, but seems to be unworn. The first quartz watch using todays standard rate of 32kHz and thus for sure not only a iconic 70s watch but as well watch of horological relevance.
