CASE & BRACELET

The impressive case retains strong factory dimensions and prominent chamfers around the broad lugs, the case exhibits nominal evidence of being previously polished and honest signs of gentle use. The original rotating minutes/hours bezel is in remarkably well-preserved condition, exhibiting almost no wear while remaining deep black in color. The case retains its original pump pushers and "Heuer" signed crown. The factory engravings on the case back remain crisp, which is uncommon for the reference as it's typical for them to fade from wear, and some tool marks are present. The watch comes on an original and extremely rare 1968 Heuer signed Gay Freres "beads of rice" bracelet with original HLB end pieces, the bracelet retains 18 links that show minimal stretch and will fit up to an 8-inch wrist.

DIAL & HANDS

The original matte black "reverse panda" dial with silver sub-dials is in exceptional, near-perfect, vintage condition showing no damage or imperfections. The silver sub-dials feature a warm silver coloration and display no damage and only nominal elements of age. The tritium lume features no degradation when inspected under UV light and has achieved a gorgeous golden-yellow patina. The original tritium hands match the dial perfectly with no degradation present under UV light inspection.
