This popular dial features a sharp logo and a well-balanced design!

The dial remains in exceptionally clean condition even when viewed with a magnifying glass.
It's in what could be called perfect condition.

It seems that older models tend to have relatively little fading,
In this particular model, the tritium has turned cream.

The condition of the index luminous material is also excellent.

The condition is good, there are some scratches and small marks due to use,
This is a good, sturdy piece with a sturdy case and bracelet.

As you can see, the edge lines of the middle case are very clear!!

The hairline on the lug feet is also in good condition.

The buckle clasp code is "N5" which matches the era.

*The flash fit was replaced in later years.

The bracelet is in good condition with almost no signs of wear!
The bracelet is in very good condition and is in very nice condition.

Wrist shot!!
This is a very popular model that is simple, cool, and has an exquisite size!
