Ref.16550" has arrived!
This is a short-lived model, with a production period of only a few years.
The dial colors of "Ref.16550" are black, white, and ivory.
The latest arrival is the ivory dial, which is considered to be the rarest of all.

This is a comparison photo with the white lettering/A version of "Ref.16570" (right).
The ivory dial has individual differences,
This particular watch has a richly colored ivory dial.

Furthermore, this dial has the words "SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER" written on the top line of the chronometer notation.
This refers to the fact that the spaces between the words "OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED" at the bottom are aligned vertically.
This dial is called a "center split."
By the way, this dial is also available on the black dial.
The ivory dial x center split dial is a rare dial that many people are looking for.

The dial condition is very good,
The tritium luminous material has a cream color that matches the ivory dial.

The "Ref.16550" has a similar design to the "Ref.16570",
It features a large, angular bezel with typeface.
I'm sure there are many people who like this bezel with a strong retro feel.

This product is in good case and bracelet condition and highly recommended!

This is a 1984 model, so it has some exterior finishing.
There is no excessive finishing and the lug feet are sturdy.

The single bracelet with the clasp code "I" engraved on it matches the era.

It is in good condition with little creasing.

We also have a full range of accessories!

Ivory/Center Split with a warranty is hard to find.

Another attractive feature is that it comes with a booklet from that time.

However, there is one mystery here. This is a booklet from 1984, but the bezel...
If you know any more details, please let me know!

Wrist shot!!
It's a very attractive specimen!!
Please enjoy the outstanding ivory dial!
