"200 Taki" MK1 bezel

The tachymeter bezel of the 16520 is usually 400 tachymeters,
The earliest ones were 200 meters.
This is a rare bezel that is indispensable for early models!

"Step-down" MK1 dial

The five-line logo at the 12 o'clock position
Only "COSMOGRAPH" is laid out one level away.
This dial is also known as a "floating" dial.

Personally, my favorite thing about the MK1 dial is
This is a bold letter with serifs.

Five lines at 12 o'clock and "T SWISS MADE T" at 6 o'clock
The serif font is super cool!!

I would love for you to see this letter in person!!

Speaking of white lettering/MK1, there is also a very rare/porcelain dial,
It seems like there are very few of them in circulation.

It can be difficult to find a watch with a well-fitted matte dial.

The dial has some small scratches that can be seen with a magnifying glass.
Overall it is kept in good condition.

The luminous material is all tritium!

While many of the early models have been replaced with Luminova hands,
This particular watch is equipped with a tritium needle.

The condition is good, there are some scratches and scuffs due to use,
The overall condition is good!!

Important point!!
The bezel is also smooth and makes a great impression!

The kamaboko case, a sign of an early model, is also in good condition!!

It's not overly polished and is very firm!

As you can see, the edge lines of the lug feet are sharp and look great!
The hairline is also in good condition.

Buckle clasp code is "M5"
It is equipped with a single bracelet that matches the era!

The bracelet is slightly wrinkled!

And finally, a wrist shot!! So cool!!
Enjoy the white lettering/MK1 dial that makes it clear at a glance that it is an early model!

El Primero-equipped Daytona Early Model MK1 "Ref. 16520/R7"
This is a masterpiece that allows you to feel the charm of the dial, bezel, and early models!
Among the MK1 dials, the ones with white letters are even less common and are quite rare!
