During the long manufacturing period, various changes were made to the specifications.
This is a long-selling vintage Explorer.

It's a popular model with a cool, complete design that fits comfortably on the wrist.

The model we are introducing this time is the L number, which is considered to be the final model number.
There is also an E series that is produced in extremely limited numbers,
The L number is also a rare item that is hard to come by.

The dial is characterized by a retro and adorable crown mark.

There are some small scratches on the crystal, but the dial is in excellent condition.
It is in good condition even when viewed through a magnifying glass.

The slightly fat font style luminous index is also quite tasteful.
The luminous material is in perfect condition and has been kept in good condition.

Recommended for those looking for a watch with minimal tritium burn, typical of older models.

The luminous material is all tritium.
If you look closely, you can see a crack on the second hand, but it doesn't ruin the look.
The condition of the luminous hands is also good.

The color of the luminous hands and indexes matches perfectly!

The condition is good, there are some scratches and scuffs due to use,
The case and bracelet are in good condition.

The middle case is not overly polished, which makes a good impression.

The lug legs are also perfectly in place!!

Buckle clasp code is "M11"

The bracelet is in good condition, although it is slightly worn and out of date!

All accessories included are the box, warranty card, calendar (89-90), and extra links.
The warranty card included is definitely rare!

You have a great look on your face!!
This is the final L-number specimen with a perfectly balanced overall appearance!

Wrist shot!!
This model always looks cool and stable!
It's also recommended as an introductory model for vintage guitarists!

The highly popular vintage Explorer "Ref. 1016/L2"
