Daytona with El Primero, manufactured from R to P, "Ref. 16520"
The product we are introducing this time is an all-tritium model that has the characteristics of the early model!
The combination of tritium luminous, inverted 6, and single buckle creates a more vintage feel.
This model has been gaining attention in recent years and is one of the El Primero models we receive the most inquiries about.
In particular, the model with a black dial and warranty is the first we have received in a long time.
If you are looking, please take a look.
Commonly known as the "reverse 6 dial"
This is an early dial produced up to the S series, and is called the "reverse 6" or "inverted 6" because the number "6" on the 12-hour counter at the 6 o'clock position is inverted to look like a "9".
It is also called "INVERTED 6" overseas.
This particular watch has brown discoloration on the sub-dial.
It will be a light discoloration,
Just the addition of this discoloration makes the 16/El Primero look even cooler.
There is some deterioration such as scratches on the in-dial,
It's not a scratch that's particularly noticeable when you actually pick it up.
The 30-minute counter has a long scale.
The dial condition is very natural and clearly visible at the 3 o'clock edge.
The surface of the black dial is in good condition overall.
The bezel is a period-matched MK3 bezel.
The bezel has some scratches from use,
There is no excessive finishing and the condition is good!
The buckle is a single buckle with clasp code "N4".
The initial model features:
The single buckle is an essential feature of the “inverted 6” dial.
The matte stainless steel single bracelet gives it a more retro feel!
78360/Single bracelet also left a good impression when I held it in my hand.
It's in very good condition with only slight creasing!
The condition is the same as the bezel, there are small scratches on the whole,
The case is thick and sturdy in good condition.
The middle case in particular is in excellent condition as you can see. It is a thick and sturdy case.
The edges of the rug feet are also standing firmly!
Accessories include box, warranty card, chronometer certificate, Daytona booklet, Oyster booklet.
Chronometer tag, Daytona specification green tag (retrofit),
We have a calendar (91-92) and extra frames (full frames).
As mentioned at the beginning, the early black models with warranty cards are very rare as there are very few of them on the market.
Wrist shot!!
The crisp case and the slightly brown discolored inverted 6-tone dial make this an attractive piece! Please take a look at it!
