Watch Description

I Purchased this from an online auction site as the first step down the Accutron rabbit hole.  I just love the 70's aesthetic.

The band is not branded and I don't know if it has been replaced even though the watch shows minimal sign of wear overall.

Reading the date code, I put the watch at a 1973 Date & Day but I would appreciate any more information if possible.  Thanks.
