COMING SOON!!

El Primero-equipped Daytona "Ref. 16520" manufactured from R to P
The product we are introducing this time is an all-tritium model with the characteristics of the early model!
The number of El Primero/Daytona watches is decreasing,
The number of consistent early specimens is even fewer.

Commonly known as "reverse 6 dial"

This is an early dial produced up to the S series, and is called the "reverse 6" or "inverted 6" because the number "6" on the 12-hour counter at the 6 o'clock position is inverted to look like a "9."

It is also known as "INVERTED 6" overseas.

The buckle is a single buckle.
This individual's clasp code is "O11",
It has a period-appropriate buckle.

The matte stainless steel single bracelet on the inverted 6-dial watch gives it a retro feel and makes it look cool!

The kamaboko case is also one of the charms of the early models!!

The best thing about this watch is definitely the dial!!

The dial is a rare MK3!
When it comes to early models, the floating MK1 and the 4-line MK2 tend to attract attention, but
This MK3 dial is also a rare dial that is very rarely available.

The letters in COSMOGRAPH are not far apart,
The serifed letters are the same as the MK1, making for a casually cool dial!

The dial condition is black with matte aging typical of MK3 dials, but it remains in good condition overall.

The color of the sub-dials is also nice and creates a nice atmosphere!!

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

The condition is that there are scratches and scuffs due to use,
This is a great specimen that exudes a rugged atmosphere!

The middle case is in the condition shown, maintaining its original shape!

The edges of the rug feet are firm and well-defined!

The MK3 bezel is in good condition and has some scratches from use.
There is no sagging around the bezel and it is in good condition!

There is almost no sagging of the bracelet!

Accessories include box, warranty card, international service warranty card (2017.10), serial tag, chronometer tag,
Daytona booklet (91), Oyster booklet (92), Calendar (91-92),
We have it all!

The included warranty card, serial tag, and 1991 Daytona booklet are big pluses!

Wrist shot!!
The early specimens have a good taste.

If you look closely, you'll see that it's an MK3 with dialogue, making it a masterpiece that will appeal to any enthusiast!
