The individual with a combination of tritium luminous, reverse 6, and single buckle
To create a more vintage atmosphere,
This model has been gaining attention in recent years and is one of the most frequently inquired about El Primero models.

Commonly known as "reverse 6 dial"

The number "6" on the 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock is inverted to look like a "9"
This is an early dial manufactured up to the S series, which is known as the "reverse 6" or "inverted 6." It is also known overseas as the "INVERTED 6."

The dial is MK4. The dial condition is excellent.
It looks very clean even under a magnifying glass.

The area around the sub-dials, which are prone to deterioration, is also in good 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 change.
It creates a nice semi-vintage atmosphere.

The bezel has some scratches from use,
It is equipped with a rare MK3 bezel that matches the period.

The condition is good, there are some 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 well-defined!

It's rare to find an early El Primero in such good 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 clasp code "N9" that matches the era.
A distinctive feature of the early model is the inverted 6-digit 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 hands.
It's in very good condition with only a little crease!
 

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 strong semi-vintage vibe!
