The first Explorer II "Ref. 1655" manufactured from 1971 to 1983
This is a very popular model that exudes the retro atmosphere that only a vintage model can offer.
The temporary downturn in the market has subsided, and it seems that recently the availability of consistent specimens is decreasing again.
The one we are introducing this time was manufactured around 1977-1978.
The dial, bezel and case are in good condition.
This is a well-balanced and highly recommended item!

The dial is the original "Type 2 dial" that matches the era.
It features a cute and impactful crown logo!
Large orange 24-hour hand,
The base of the hands is painted black, the same as the dial.
The dial also features a "phantom effect" that makes the luminous parts appear to be floating.
The dial has very slight deterioration due to aging, but
Overall it is in good condition!
The index luminous material is also not chipped and has changed to a beautiful cream color.
The luminous material is all tritium.
The luminous hands are also in excellent condition.
The Ref. 1655 is also available in a wide variety of bezels, just like the dials.
This particular watch is equipped with a period-matching Type 2 bezel.
The bezel, which is an important point, is crisp and
The condition is reminiscent of non-polished.
The impression of the face is determined by the bezel alone, so
It is rare to find a bezel that retains its original shape like this!
The condition is good, there are scratches on the case and bracelet,
It's in good condition for a vintage item!
The middle case is in the condition you see!
Like the bezel, the case is thick and in excellent condition.
It has a very solid and impressive lug leg.
This condition is rare!
The sleek and rugged case sides do not look sagging!
Buckle clasp code is "VC"
The bracelet is of the same age and has some wear,
There are no major scratches and it is sturdy!!
You have a great look on your face!!
This is a recommended item that leaves an outstanding impression when you hold it in your hand!
