What we are introducing this time is a mirror dial that was available on models manufactured up until around 1967.

The mirror dial has a beautiful mirror-like shine that is very appealing.
This is a rare dial that is extremely rare even among vintage models.

This particular item is a tropical mirror with a jet black mirror that changes to an exquisite brown color.

The Ref. 1016/Tropical Mirror, which was sold out immediately after the last shipment, was also a very cool item.
This particular model also has a very cool mirror dial that shows off a different, exquisite aging effect.

I often see a watch with a strong brown color change from the center of the dial to the 3 o'clock side, but this tropical mirror is one of them.
The minute line on the 3 o'clock side of the dial has changed dramatically.

The special changes in this Minute Line are super cool,
We hope you will pick up a copy and take a look!

This is a close-up image.

The minute line on the 3 o'clock side of the dial is also like that.
The change around the tritium luminous area at 3 o'clock is also unique.

Am I the only one who thinks that the number 3 seems to be emanating power? (laughs)
This is a really interesting change!!

This exquisite gradation change is just too much.
So cool!!

The dial condition is poor with the luminous index at 6 o'clock.
There are also some areas where very slight deterioration can be seen,
The luster of the dial itself remains perfect overall.

The luminous material is all tritium.
However, the hands were later replaced with tritium hands.
This is the only unfortunate point, but we have been able to keep the price down to compensate.

The condition is age-appropriate with some scratches,
The case and bracelet are in good, solid condition.

As you can see, the middle case in particular is in excellent condition with no thinness!

The lug legs are also thick and look great!

A rivet bracelet is an essential feature for a watch of this age!!
The buckle engraving is consistent with the 4th period of 1966!

The rivet bracelet has a very natural twist,
It comes with a very impressive bracelet!

Wrist shot!!
A glossy tropical mirror that shows off a unique aging effect!!
This is an extremely cool item!

Vintage Explorer "Ref.1016/66"
This tropical mirror has a mysterious aura that makes it look cooler the more you look at it!
