CASE & BRACELET
The well-preserved and thick pointed-crown-guard case retains symmetrical lugs and impressive dimensions, showing chamfers and honest signs of use, with minimal evidence of previous polishing present. The watch retains its original bottle-cap bezel, and the red back "Pepsi" bezel insert has achieved a charming red-orange and denim blue patina with some wear present. The watch comes supplied on a 2pc canvas strap.
DIAL & HANDS
The striking and early gilt "chapter ring" dial has achieved a vibrant and extremely attractive tropical patina that features color hues ranging from chocolate brown to caramel. The dial retains its original gloss finish while featuring some subtle spidering to the lacquer and gentle wear around the hand-stack that is expected for this era, though it does not detract from the aesthetics of the watch. The transitional strontium lume plots exhibit no degradation when inspected under UV light and have taken on a charming creamy patina. The original gilt hands have been professionally restored with era-correct lume to coordinate with the overall aesthetics of the watch and are a shade lighter than the dial lume. The metallic date wheel is original with "open" 6's and 9's.
