SOLD OUT!!
The third generation Explorer "Ref. 1016" manufactured from around 1959 to around 1990
During the long manufacturing period, various changes were made to the specifications.
It's a vintage Explorer.
The latest arrival is an early model with a circle mirror dial, which is rare.
This particular dial is one of the earliest mirror dials.
A track-shaped minute circle is printed along the outer edge of the dial.
"Chapter ring" "Circle mirror" "MM dial"
This is called a mirror dial.
I have the impression that mirror dials are becoming less common these days.
Among them, the circle mirror is a rare dial that is hard to come by even in our store.
The dial shows signs of aging overall.
It has a flavor that is unique to this era.
The deep, burnt luminous color goes really well with the mature aged look!
What's more, there are moments when the gold letters on this dial shine with an indescribable orange hue due to the reflection of light, which makes it really cool!
This unique brilliance can be seen in the faded dial,
I would definitely recommend you to see it!
It's a fascinating dial that will have you staring in amazement.
The gold hands also show exquisite aging and look really cool.
There are some corrections to the luminous second hand, but the atmosphere is not affected.
There are some scratches from use appropriate for the age, but there are no major scratches and the overall condition is good for an item that is over 60 years old.
A rivet bracelet is an essential feature for a watch of this age!!
The rivet bracelet is in good condition.
It comes with a very impressive bracelet!
The buckle clasp matches the date, 4th period 1960.
Wrist shot!!
The gold letters shine brightly against the aged dial!
Enjoy the super cool atmosphere!
