The second generation Explorer II, manufactured from around 1984 to around 1988
“Ref.16550” is now in stock!
This is a short-lived model, with a production period of only a few years.
The "Ref.16550" has a similar design to the "Ref.16570",
It features a large, angular bezel with typeface.
I'm sure there are many people who like this bezel with a strong retro feel.
The dial colors of "Ref.16550" are black, ivory, and white.
The latest arrival is the ivory dial, which is considered to be the rarest of all.
The individual we are introducing has an ivory dial with a deep color.
It is not rich, but it has a very smooth and beautiful color.
The hands and indexes have a strong luminous finish, giving it an outstanding appearance.
I had never seen an ivory with this pattern (light dial + strong tritium tarnish) before, so it felt fresh and I found it quite appealing.
Am I the only one who thinks that the light ivory dial and the dark tritium make it look like a real fried egg? (laughs)
To be honest, Satouda also sympathized with me.
Although it is said that the ivory color is light,
16570/Compared to the white lettering, you can clearly see the ivory color.
The dial condition is fine with some small scratches seen through a magnifying glass,
It is kept in very good condition.
The condition of the luminous hands is also good.
The bezel, case and bracelet have some scratches from use,
The atmosphere has not been compromised in any way!!
The middle case is also thick and gives a good impression.
The clasp code for the single buckle is "I5"
The breath is also perfectly consistent!!
The bracelet is slightly wrinkled but in good condition.
Accessories include box, warranty card, EX booklet (84), calendar,
Comes with a chronometer tag and pass case!
The outer box comes with a 16550 reflector seal!
Still, this one has a good look.
It's fascinating how the appearance can change so much just by changing the way the tritium burns!!
Wrist shot!!
A fried egg ivory with a mysterious and alluring expression!!
Enjoy this one-of-a-kind face!
