Ref.5500 Serial.17 (manufactured around 1968)
Accessories: Main unit only
Cal.1520 FF60/7205 Clasp cord 66.4 Back cover 67.4
SOLD OUT!!

This time, we will introduce a model that is said to have been sold to the UK for a certain period of time.
This is a rare Explorer/Ref.5500.

There are many remanufactured items, and it is difficult to find the original model,
This is a rare model that is becoming more and more rare every year.

This model is an Air King/Ref. 5500 with an Explorer dial,
It is characterized by its small size of 34mm.

This is a comparison photo with Ref. 1016/mirror dial.
When you compare it like this, the difference of 2mm is significant.

Recommended for those who feel that 1016 is a little too big!

The dial is a mirror dial.

The evaluation of mirror dials varies greatly depending on their condition,
This particular watch has a shiny mirror dial with a strong sheen.

There are some small scratches, but the condition of the mirror is as follows:
It is no exaggeration to say that it is in top condition.

This is a mirror dial of the highest level of beauty!!

The jet black mirror and gold lettering combine to create a really cool look.

Sparkling!!
When you see this dial, you will find yourself humming the words (laughs).
This is a rare condition that is rarely seen.

While many of them have lost their luminescence,
The index luminous material is also in very good condition!

Since it is equipped with a non-chronograph movement, the word "PRECISION" is written at the 6 o'clock position on the dial!

The luminous material is all tritium.
The luminous hands are also in excellent condition.

The condition is good with some small scratches,
It is an individual that has been kept in a beautiful state overall.

The middle case has a slightly polished feel.

A rivet bracelet is an essential feature for a mirror dial!!

The clasp is stamped 4th period 66.

The bracelet is suitable for the age group and has some wrinkles,
It is very sturdy.

Wrist shot!!
The gold letters don't stand out against the jet black mirror!
And the perfect size is what makes it so appealing!

Boys Explorer "Ref.5500"
This is a recommended vintage piece with a beautiful jet black mirror dial that is in top condition.
If you are looking for a small and stylish mirror dial, be sure to try it on!
The atmosphere is amazing and it's really cool!!
