CASE & BRACELET

The slim 39.5mm cushion

case is believed to be unpolished, showing normal signs of wear for a watch its age, and crisp angles and finishing throughout. The "Coke" style rotating bezel is in fantastic condition, showing no signs of wear. It features its original unsigned crown. The case back is extremely crisp with all factory engravings deep and highly legible. The watch comes supplied on a stainless steel 'beads of rice' style bracelet that shows minimal stretch and will fit up to a 7 1/4-inch wrist.

DIAL & HANDS

The original dial features a light grey outer with hour markers that are black with lume coming out of each. But it's the bright yellow center of the dial, reminiscent of a drawing of the sun, that makes it immediately noticeable. That yellow extends to surround the date window at 3 o'clock. The lume is still in great condition, aging ever so slightly to a light cream color. The original baton hands are also in great condition with inlaid lume that matches the dial perfectly. Under UV light inspection the lume on the dial and in the hands exhibits no degradation.

ACCESSORIES

None. The watch is keeping time, but the service history is unknown. A movement service can be provided upon request.
