CASE & BRACELET

The robust case retains strong factory dimensions with the original chamfers still present along the case edges. The case does exhibit honest wear from use, with nominal evidence of being previously polished present. The thick saw-tooth bezel is original, as is the insert, which shows some minor wear and retains its orange lume triangle. The mineral glass crystal does show some minor scratches and wear. The case retains its original, unsigned screw-down crown. The case back retains all of its factory markings in deep and crisp condition, with some tool marks present from being previously opened. The watch comes supplied on a brown NATO strap.

DIAL & HANDS

The original and very well-preserved matte black dial features a unique quirk or "error" in the printing from the factory. The "Automatic" text was accidentally double-printed, resulting in a 3D-like effect. While known, this is extremely uncommon within Scubapros, and while niche, it is sought after among collectors. The dial itself exhibits no damage or notable are. The tritium lume plots are comprised of orange lume at the 12, 6, and 9 o'clock markers that match the lume triangle in the bezel, with the rest of the plots featuring a subtle green coloration. The original hands continue this bi-color trend as the center seconds hand features a bright orange paint, while the lume in the hour and minute hands coordinates closely with the dial patina. Under UV light inspection, the dial exhibits no degradation, and the lume in the hands also remains fully intact, though the orange paint in the seconds hand does feature some minor cracking.
