Cal.4030 78360/FF503 Clasp Code N4

SOLD OUT!!
Daytona with El Primero, manufactured from R to P, "Ref. 16520"
The product we are introducing this time is an individual that has the characteristics of the early model!
Commonly known as the "reverse 6 dial"
At 6 o'clock, the number "6" on the 12-hour counter is inverted to look like a "9".
This is an early dial produced up to the S number, known as the "reverse 6" or "inverted 6" .
It is also called "INVERTED 6" overseas.
By the way, the dial is "MK4" !
The buckle is a single buckle .
This particular piece has an "N" clasp code, so it comes with a buckle that matches the era.
The initial model features:
The single buckle is an essential feature of the “inverted 6” dial .
Personally, I think that the matte stainless steel single bracelet looks more retro and cool with the inverted 6 dial!!
The bezel is the "MK3" that matches the era.
The “MK3” is characterized by a slightly wider HOUR span, although not as wide as the “MK6”.
The bezel has some scratches from use, but is a rare bezel suited to its age.
The dial is luminous with tritium and the hands are luminova.
The case and bracelet are in good condition with some small scratches from use, but no major scratches.
I checked the crown watermark-free glass with a 10x magnifying glass, but I couldn't find any scratches.
There is very little twisting in the single bracelet.
*Frames will be full frames.
Comes with box and international service warranty.
The watch was overhauled by the manufacturer in September 2017, so its accuracy is currently stable.
El Primero-equipped Daytona Ref.16520
This is an early model with an "inverted 6-dial" and "single buckle" that gives it a great look!
