DIAL & HANDS

The stunning silver dial is warm with a wonderful vintage aesthetic that has taken on a 'tropical' speckling throughout. The applied markers and dot indices create a clean and simple design and the date window is featured in a unique position more towards the center of the dial to preserve the 3 o'clock hour marker. The original beveled dauphine hands remain in stunning condition, with a creamy lume that matches the dial perfectly. Under UV light inspection the lume plots all remain present, however, there is some degradation present in the lume throughout.
