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.

I have the impression that the number of mirror dials that still have a good shine has decreased dramatically recently.
The piece that has arrived this time has a dial that still retains a beautiful luster.

Furthermore, the dial is a unique tropical mirror that ages beautifully.

This is a comparison photo with the Ref. 1016 jet black mirror (right) on display in our store.

What do you think?
There is a clear difference in color compared to the jet black dial on the right.
Do you understand?

Even so, this individual...
This is a dial that shows wonderful aging that can truly be called vintage.

There is some color unevenness from the dial center to the right.
Changes like this are common in tropical mirrors.

This is one of the earliest non-circular mirror dials.
Another notable feature is that the 369 index is written in the same font as the circle mirror.

The index luminous is in good condition!
It is in excellent condition with no visible luminous defects.

The dial condition is that of a mirror, but it has some aging.
The mirror still retains its luster.

Ahh...so cool.

The 1016 mirror dial itself is not widely available,
It's hard to find a mirror dial with such a tropical feel these days.

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

As you can see, the middle case does not have an excessive finish.

A rivet bracelet is an essential feature for a watch of this age!!

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

Comes with a warranty and chronometer certificate.

Wrist shot!!
This exquisite gradation change is just too much.
This wonderful aging is a true art.
