Rolex Explorer Circle Mirror x Underline
Ref.1016 Serial.90 (manufactured around 1963)
Cal.1560 FF58/7206 69.1 Back cover 63.1
Accessories: Main unit only
SOLD OUT!!
The third generation Explorer "Ref. 1016" manufactured from around 1959 to around 1990
During the long manufacturing period, various changes were made to the specifications.
It's a vintage Explorer.
The latest arrival is an early model with a circle mirror dial, which is rare.
This particular dial is one of the earliest mirror dials.
A track-shaped minute circle is printed along the outer edge of the dial.
They are called "chapter ring," "circle mirror," and "MM dial."
This is a mirror dial made up until around 1963.
I have the impression that mirror dials are becoming less common these days.
Among them, the circle mirror is a rare dial that is hard to come by even in our store.
Furthermore, if you look closely at this particular unit, under the chronometer markings,
There is a thin "━" called an underline .
It was one of the first to use tritium.
It is said to be a dial that indicates that radioactive substances are below the prescribed standard.
There are a lot of individual differences in the condition of the dials of mirror dials.
Furthermore, when it comes to MM dials, the glossiness is inevitably lost,
I get the impression that many of them are deteriorated.
This item has some small scratches and dullness,
We recommend this watch with its mirror dial that still retains a glossy finish.
You can see a slight brown color change mainly on the 3 o'clock side.
It has a tropical dial.
The index luminous material is still beautifully preserved and in excellent condition!
The luminous material is all tritium.
The flat gold hands have also aged beautifully, making them look really cool!!
The condition is age-appropriate with some scratches,
This is a solid piece for one manufactured around 1963!
The case is in good condition and has no excessive finishing!
The lug feet also make a great impression!
A rivet bracelet is an essential feature for a watch of this age!!
It is a rivet bracelet from 1969 and later,
As you can see, the bracelet is in good condition!
Wrist shot!!
