Cal.1570 FF80/7206 Clasp code 66.4 Back cover 66.2
SOLD OUT!!
What we are introducing this time is a mirror dial that was available on models manufactured up until around 1967.
The mirror dial has a beautiful, mirror-like shine that is appealing.
This is a rare dial that is extremely rare even among vintage models.

However, I feel like there is a very strong demand for 1016 these days.
This is a popular vintage model that arrives and then departs relatively quickly.

The latest arrival is a mirror dial, which seems to be very rare.
The jet black mirror that arrived the other day was in excellent condition and was also very good,
The model we are introducing has a tropical dial with beautiful brown aging.

The tropical dial has individual differences in the degree of brown change,
This mirror dial has a tropical mirror finish with a striking brown color.
The 1016 mirror dial itself is not widely available,
A mirror dial with such a tropical look is rare.

This is a comparison photo with the Ref. 1016 jet black mirror (right) on display in our store.
What do you think?
There is a clear difference in color compared to the jet black dial on the right.
Do you understand?

This is a dial that shows wonderful aging that can be called vintage.
The brown color gets stronger from the center of the dial to the right,
This type of change is also common in tropical mirrors.

The tropical dial and gold lettering look really cool.

The dial has some aging deterioration,
The mirror still has a glossy finish, giving it a golden shine.

The luminous index is in good condition!
It is in excellent condition with almost no luminous defects.

The luminous material is all tritium.
The hands have aged nicely!
The balance between the luminous hands and indexes is also excellent!

The condition is age-appropriate with some scratches from use,
The case is a solid and impressive piece.

As you can see, the middle case is not overly finished.
The condition is good.

A rivet bracelet is an essential feature for a watch of this age!

The buckle is engraved with the second period of 1966.

The rivet bracelet has natural wrinkles,
This is also a vintage taste.

Wrist shot!! So cool!
This is a rare tropical mirror that can truly be called vintage!
