The sunburst-finished cushion case retains crisp finishing and bevels throughout with light signs of honest use present. The case retains its original pump pushers and unsigned crown.

DIAL & HANDS

The original grey dial with black sub-dials is in exceptional vintage condition, showing no damage or notable age. The sub-dials are reminiscent of the same typeface used in the Rolex "Paul Newman Daytona", and show some very minor tonal marks. The original tritium hands have aged to a tasteful creamy patina. The red chronograph and date add a welcomed pop of color to complete the watch.
