Reference 1655 Serial 62 series (manufactured around 1980)
Cal.1570 FF580/78360 Clasp engraved VC
Accessories: Main unit only
SOLD OUT!!

The first Explorer II "Ref. 1655" manufactured from 1971 to 1983
This is a very popular model that exudes the retro atmosphere that only a vintage model can offer.

This is a popular vintage model that has consistently been popular.
I have the impression that it's becoming less common these days.

The model we are introducing this time is one manufactured around 1979.

The dial is a period-correct " MK4 dial . "
The lettering is very similar to the MK5 dial,
What makes it unique is that the letter "O" in "OYSTER" is oval!

The MK4 dial is surprisingly hard to find and is quite rare.

The dial has slight scuffs that can be seen with a magnifying glass,
It is kept in very good condition.

The MK4 dial now has the T SWISS<25 T notation.

The index luminous material is in excellent condition with no visible defects!
There is no dirt to be found and it can be said to be a very beautiful luminous object.

The luminous material is all tritium.
The luminous hands are also in good condition.

The bezel is an MK3 that fits onto an MK4 dial.
Compared to the MK1 and MK2, the top of the number "2" is gentler.

This is a rare bezel with a very short production period.

As the bezel is the part that determines the face, its condition is extremely important, but this particular one is in excellent, crisp condition!

The condition of the case and bracelet is also excellent!

There are scratches due to age,
The impression when you pick it up is that it is an outstandingly good specimen!

The middle case is in the condition you see!

The rug legs are thick and sturdy, making it very impressive!

The edge lines are also in great condition!
The fine hairline looks great too!

This is definitely a horn-like lug foot!!
It's rare to find a four-digit model in this condition!

The bracelet also matches the clasp code "VC".
The crisp bracelet is in good condition with almost no creases!

This is a wonderful model with an irresistible retro feel!

Wrist shot!! You look great!
Enjoy the impressive cracking case!

The first Explorer II "Ref. 1655/80"
This is an excellent specimen that has been kept in top-notch condition!

Furthermore, well-formed specimens are definitely rare!
