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 is
To create a more vintage feel,
This model has been gaining attention in recent years and is one of the most frequently inquired about El Primero models.

Commonly known as the "reverse 6 dial"

At 6 o'clock, the number "6" on the 12-hour counter is inverted to look like a "9".
This is an early dial produced up to the S number, which is called the "reverse 6" or "inverted 6". It is also called the "INVERTED 6" overseas.

The dial is MK4. The dial condition is excellent.
It appears to be in very good condition even when viewed with a magnifying glass.

The area around the inner dial, which is prone to deterioration, is also in beautiful condition.
This retro typeface, which can be seen up to MK4, is also attractive.
The sub-dial scale is long.

The luminous material is all tritium.
The indexes and luminous hands have a slight cream color.
It gives off a nice semi-vintage vibe.

The bezel has some scratches from use,
It is equipped with a rare period-matching MK3 bezel.

The condition is that there are scratches and scuffs due to use,
It is an individual that gives a good impression of being in good overall condition.

The middle case is in the condition you see!
The lug legs are thick and stylish!

It's rare to find an early El Primero in such good case condition!

The hairline is also in good condition!

The kamaboko case is also one of the charms of the early models!!

The buckle is a single buckle with the era-matching clasp code "N9".
A feature of the early model is the inverted 6 dial with a single buckle.
The matte stainless steel single bracelet gives it an even 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!
 

Accessories include a box, international service warranty, and extra links (full links).

Wrist shot!!
It's so cool!
It's a rugged early model with a semi-vintage vibe!
