Purchase date unknown. I purchased several items from the same brand at a select shop, and I only used the others. This item was not used. Although it is new and unused, it is unknown whether it functions as a watch. It has an antique look with a leather cord and leather accents. Since it's a leather cord, it may be suitable for those with metal allergies. It was originally sold without a box, but with a drawstring bag, which is also included.
