It's a vintage Explorer.

Recently, 1016 has been very active at our store!!
All of the multiple bottles we had in stock have sold out, and we finally have one in stock!

Today we are introducing an R-number 1016, a model from a later model year.

If you're looking for a high-quality model, be sure to check this out!

The dial is appropriate for the era and features a sharp logo.

The matte black dial is in excellent condition!
I recommend finding older models as they are relatively easy to find in beautiful condition like this one!

The index luminous material is in perfect condition with no chips!

This dial doesn't burn with luminous material very well.
Although this individual cannot be said to be pure white,
I don't notice much luminous burn.

The luminous material is all tritium.
The luminous hands are in good condition with no cracks or other visible marks.

The dial condition is also attractive,
The case and bracelet are in good condition too!!

There are some scratches from use,
The case is in good condition with no excessive finishing!

The lug legs have sharp edges.

Buckle clasp code is "M2"

The bracelet matches the era and is in good condition with almost no signs of wear!

You have a great look on your face!!
This is the most popular vintage model in our store right now!

Wrist shot!!
Its exquisite size and timeless design are what make it so appealing!
It's cool no matter how many times you look at it!!

The highly popular Vintage Explorer I "Ref. 1016/R8"
The dial, luminous material, case, and bracelet are all in excellent condition, making this a highly recommended watch!

Many people are looking for late-year R-series models, and they tend to sell relatively quickly, so if you're looking for one, don't miss out! We also recommend this as an entry-level vintage model!
If you are looking for a good example of Ref. 1016, please consider this one.
