"Pulsuhan nga natin." (Let's check the pulse.) The other 7017-8000 in my collection is this Pulsimeter. It's called that because of the feature that allows for pulse rate readings using the watch. It is a desirable one for collectors as it is not as commonly available as the other 7017-8000 model.

| This model has day and date complications with the day display in either English or Kanji. The dial also has the unique pulsimeter feature that can be used for measuring pulse rates. |

| Inside is a Cal. 7017A that runs at 21,600 A/h with a potential power reserve of 43h. |

This is definitely a keeper and I just hope that there are no serious mechanical or parts issues with the watch. I got this from a suki who is in Lima, Peru. So far, all the watches I got from this seller have been functioning well and acquired with bargain prices.
