The product we are introducing this time is an all-tritium model with the characteristics of the early model!

The combination of tritium luminous, reverse 6, and single buckle is
To create a more vintage atmosphere,
This model has been gaining attention in recent years and is one of the most frequently inquired about El Primero models.

Among these, the model with a black dial and warranty card is a popular model that is becoming less and less available in our store.
If you are looking for it, please take a look.

Commonly known as "reverse 6 dial"

The number "6" on the 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock is inverted to look like a "9"
This is an early dial produced up to the S number, known as the "reverse 6" or "inverted 6."
It is also known as "INVERTED 6" overseas.

The dial is MK4.

The dial is in good condition with no noticeable signs of wear!

This watch comes with a warranty and maintains this dial condition.
It's not readily available at the moment.

The area around the sub-dials, which are prone to deterioration, is also in good condition.
This retro typeface, which can be seen up to MK4, is also attractive.

The luminous material is all tritium!
The condition of the luminous hands is also good!!

This particular model also has an attractive bezel, which is often seen on X models!
The distinctive feature is that the circle at 60 is a perfect circle and the hour intervals are slightly wider.
This is a rare bezel that is surprisingly unknown and unique to this era.

The bezel has some scratches from use,
It's in good condition and doesn't look polished at all!

The buckle is a consistent clasp code "R6"
It is a single buckle.

The initial model features:
The single buckle is an essential feature of the "inverted 6" dial.
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 hands.
It's in very good condition with only a few minor creases!

The condition is the same as the bezel, there are scratches from use overall,
Because the individual pieces are in good condition, we have deliberately not finished the exterior.
Only overhauls have been completed at our affiliated workshop!

The middle case is in the condition you see.
It's a thick and sturdy case.

The edges of the rug feet are also standing firmly!

Accessories include box, warranty card, Oyster booklet, calendar, and tag (no serial number).

The key point is that this item is in good overall condition and comes with a warranty!

Wrist shot!!
It has some scratches but it's cool!! It's a unique piece!
I'm sure it will become a watch that will be popular with hand-wound Daytonas in the future!
