CASE & BRACELET

The excellent asymmetrical case retains crisp edges and overall finishing, with honest signs of use and minimal evidence of being previously polished. The case retains its original pump pushers and Omega signed Crown. The original tachymeter bezel has achieved a handsome, yet subtle fade, with the only notable sign of use being a small chip underneath the "60". The rare "Apollo XI" straight writing commemorative case back is also in excellent condition, retaining very deep and crisp engravings throughout, with some of the original black enamel remaining. The original and rare Omega 1116 bracelet with 575 end pieces retains 20 links that show light stretch and will fit up to a 7.25-inch wrist.

DIAL & HANDS

The original matte black "pie-pan" dial is in simply exceptional– virtually flawless vintage condition, showing no damage or notable signs of age. The tritium lume plots have achieved a lovely golden yellow patina and exhibit no degradation when inspected under UV light. The original tritium hands mostly match the dial patina perfectly, though the minutes hand has aged to a dark grey color, which is common for this era. Under UV light inspection, the hands display no degradation.
