DIAL & HANDS
The original glossy black "gilt" dial has achieved an incredibly beautiful tropical patina consisting of color hues ranging from chocolate brown to a deep maroon color. The dial exhibits an attractive dimensional texture from spidering that is even throughout, with no notable signs of delamination or damage while retaining the original glossy finish of the dial. The "gilt" printing and text are in perfect condition. The tritium lume plots have taken on a golden-beige patina and exhibit no degradation when inspected under UV light. The yellow gold tritium hands coordinate with the dial nicely, under UV light inspection the minute and hour hands do exhibit some cracking from degradation and remain stable. The metallic date wheel is original with "closed" 6's and 9's.

ACCESSORIES
None. The watch was recently serviced and is keeping time perfectly, backed by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
