Daytona with El Primero, manufactured from R to P, "Ref. 16520"
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 inverted 6-dial system is an easy-to-understand feature of the early models,
I'm sure it will continue to receive strong praise in the future!!

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 a short type.

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, but there is no unpleasant sagging.
It is equipped with a rare period-matching MK4 bezel.

The condition is that there are scratches and scuffs due to use,
This is a good specimen that reminds me of a non-polished one.

*There are scratches on the glass.

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!

To be honest, there are some scratches,
Still, I would recommend this to anyone wanting an unpolished case.

It's a tough case.
Am I the only one who thinks this is strangely cool?

The buckle is a single buckle with the era-matching clasp code "P3".

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!
 

This condition of the bracelet is a big plus for a bracelet of this age.

Although there is some deterioration, the reflector seal remains on the back cover.

Accessories include box, warranty card, chronometer tag, Daytona booklet, Oyster booklet,
Comes with bezel cover and calendar (91-92).

The date of the booklet matches up with that of 1991!!

The outer box comes with a reflector seal!!

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

El Primero-equipped Daytona Ref.16520 "Inverted 6/Single Tritium"
This semi-vintage model is one of the most powerful among the Ref.16520 models!
The dial, case and bracelet are in good condition and all parts are in good condition.
This excellent model with a full range of accessories is currently hard to come by!!

The overhaul has also been completed at our affiliated workshop!
