SOLD OUT!!

Today we have a semi-vintage popular model,
Introducing the Ref. 16570 with tritium luminous and single buckle!!

Among them, this is the dial of the early model that has been beautifully changed to ivory.
This is a rare specimen. Please take a look!

The ivory dial has individual differences,
This dial clearly shows the ivory color.

On the right is the L number we are introducing this time, and on the left is the S number with a white/shiny dial.
As you can see from the pictured image (right), the dial color has clearly changed to ivory.

It's not a deep ivory,
When comparing them like this, you can clearly see the difference in color.

The dial has the same font as the white lettering on the Ref. 16550.
The dial has an attractive, beautiful texture that resembles ceramic.

It's also interesting that it emits a strong bluish-white light when exposed to UV light.

This one has a great face!!
The dial has a beautiful lemon yellow color.
It is rare to find an individual that combines ivory and lemon yellow colors at the same time.

The luminous material is all tritium.
There is a small crack on the hour hand, but the condition is good.

The luminous needles are less luminous than the luminous indexes,
The balance of this burnt pattern is also a characteristic of 16570 white text!

The dial has some small scratches that can be seen with a magnifying glass,
Overall, it is in very good condition.

The condition is that it was not used after exterior finishing,
Overall, it is in good condition.

*There is a crown watermark on the glass.

As you can see, the middle case is not overly finished and is very sturdy! 

The clasp code is "M4" and matches the era!!

The bracelet is in good condition with only slight creasing!

Accessories include box (deteriorated), warranty card, international service warranty card (valid until December 2026),
Serial tag, Chronometer tag, EX booklet (90), Oyster booklet (91),
It comes with a calendar. 

The fact that it has recently had a manufacturer overhaul completed is a big plus!

Wrist shot!! You look great!!
This is a wonderful piece that is full of the charm of a semi-vintage model!

The popular semi-vintage model, Explorer II "Ref. 16570/L5"
This is a really cool piece with a very soft ivory dial and lemon yellow indexes!
It's hard to find an ivory dial like this one in good overall condition and with all the accessories included!
If you are looking for an early model of Ref.16570, please consider this one!
