SOLD OUT!!
Back in stock. Don't miss out if you're looking for one!
"Ref.14270" was manufactured from E-serial to P-serial (around 1991 to 2000).
This arrival is an early model from around 1991, the "Blackout."
Among the "Ref.14270" models with all tritium and a single buckle,
this is an extremely rare model, produced in very limited numbers during the initial production run.
The original Blackout is really popular, isn't it?
It's a super popular model that always sells quickly whenever it comes into our store,
so if you're looking for one, you should definitely check it out!
"Blackout"
A dial found in the early batches of "Ref.14270," "E-serial" and "X-serial,"
where the 3, 6, and 9 indices have black lines instead of white.
By the way, a little trivia, this model is overwhelmingly common in E34 and E81 serials for some reason.
This particular piece is an E81 serial.
There are two types of crown logo and dial inscriptions:
silver lettering and white lettering.
This time, we are introducing the incredibly cool silver lettering dial.
The lettering is thick and bold.
Here's a comparison with the Ref.14270 W-serial (right).
Can you see the differences in the index specifications and lettering color
compared to the model on the right?
The silver letter x blackout, despite being a Ref.14270,
feels like a completely different watch; the atmosphere changes so much.
Besides the crown mark and logo,
everything from the minute track to T-SWISS-T＜25 is silver lettering.
Important point!
The dial condition is excellent,
maintaining a clean state even under a loupe.
This particular piece has tritium luminous material that has turned creamy,
giving it a semi-vintage feel.
A Blackout dial that has aged like this is quite rare.
The luminous material is all tritium.
The hand lume is in beautiful condition with no cracks!
The seconds hand has the popular dot tip!!
While Blackout models with a dot tip are relatively common, this seconds hand is definitely a welcome feature!!
The case and bracelet show minor signs of use,
but overall, it is in excellent condition.
As you can see, the mid-case
is in superb condition with no noticeable thinning!
The lugs are also perfectly sharp!
*There is a chip on the crystal without the crown etching.
The buckle clasp code is "P6."
The single bracelet is crisp with absolutely no stretch,
in top condition!
It comes complete with accessories: box, warranty card, serial tag, and extra links (full set of links)!
Above all, the included warranty card and serial tag are a welcome bonus!!
Although the booklets are missing, let's try our best to find them!
While the market price for 14270s, especially single tritium models, has generally increased,
the future of the Blackout also looks promising.
Finally, a wrist shot!!
Patina Blackout!! It looks so cool!
Please try it on your wrist! You'll understand the charm of this model.
The "Blackout," an early model of the 5-digit Explorer that is overwhelmingly rare.
The silver-lettered Blackout always looks cool!!
This is a superb masterpiece from the early 90s, whose rarity is increasing year by year.
This particular piece is an excellent example, with its aged tritium and superb dial, case, and bracelet condition.
It also comes with a warranty card, so it's highly recommended!
This is a model you should definitely keep an eye on right now, so if you're looking for one, check it out!
