The first Explorer II "Ref. 1655" manufactured from 1971 to 1983
This is a very popular model that exudes the retro atmosphere that only a vintage model can offer.
The model we are introducing this time is one manufactured around 1977.
The dial is a period-correct "MK4 dial . "
The lettering is very similar to the MK5 dial,
What makes it unique is that the letter "O" in "OYSTER" is oval!
The MK4 dial is surprisingly hard to find and is quite rare.
The dial condition is good,
It is in good condition even when viewed through a magnifying glass.
The index luminous material is in excellent condition with no visible defects!
The glow-in-the-dark effect of the luminous material is also nice.
The MK4 dial now has the T SWISS<25 T notation.
The luminous material is all tritium.
There is a crack in the luminous hands that can be seen with a magnifying glass,
The condition is good.
The bezel is an MK3 that fits onto an MK4 dial.
Compared to the MK1 and MK2, the top of the number "2" is gentler.
This is a rare bezel with a short production period.
As the bezel is the part that determines the face, its condition is extremely important, but this particular one is in excellent, crisp condition!
The case and bracelet have some wear and small scratches due to use,
No major scratches and in good condition!
The middle case is in the condition you see!
It's a great, thick and sturdy case!
The rug legs are thick and sturdy, making it very impressive!
The edge lines are also in great condition!
The fine hairline looks great too!
There is no sagging around the side hole either!!
The bracelet has a clasp code "VB" that matches the era!
*The flash fit was replaced in later years.
The crisp bracelet is in top condition with almost no creases!
This is a wonderful model with an irresistible retro feel!
