The photos presented below are of the actual item for sale. Kindly study them carefully because what you see is what you will get. We try our best to describe watches as accurately as we can that's why we present them visually & literally. In case we missed a few points, you are welcome to ask questions.
This TENOR-DORLY Digital Direct-Read is a design of "windows within windows". The hour, minutes & date are displayed individualy through windows. Yet, the time & the date are separated again, by windows! It was considered one of the most modern & contemporary analog approach to time-telling then (before the attack of the digital quartz)!
This Digital Jump Hour Watch is a product of the space-age era of the 1950s-1960s. TENOR-DORLY raises the retro-futuristic "windows" design up another level with a beveled assymetric case!
