This is a very unique looking watch and it is in great condition. The battery will need to be replaced. The watch looks like a dark gray in the photo but it is much darker, borderline black. If you want to know more about the watch works in terms of reading the time, see below or check out the company's website. The Bradley timepiece features raised hour markers that allow you to feel the time by touch: a triangular marker for twelve, elongated line segments for three, six, and nine, and shorter line segments for the other markers. Two magnetized ball bearings travel around the watch face in separate, recessed tracks: one track around the center of the watch face's surface for the minute, and one track around the outside edge of the watch face for the hour. To tell the time by touch, simply run your finger over the raised hour markers, feeling the markers where the ball bearings are located. If either ball bearing moves out of place, shake your wrist and they will snap back to the correct locations.
