The second generation Explorer II, manufactured from around 1984 to around 1988
The short-lived model "Ref. 16550", which was produced for only a few years, has arrived for the first time in a long while!
The dial color of "Ref.16550" is
Available in black, white and ivory.
The item we have in stock this time is the ivory dial, which is considered to be the rarest of all.

The luminous edges of the index and the metal frame of the hands are silver.

The chronometer indication is
The upper row "SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER" and
The space between the words "OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED" on the bottom line is even.
This dial is
commonly known as a "center split."

As for the ivory color,
This individual is amazing...
It has a very rich ivory dial.
The tritium on the hands and indexes has also changed to cream color.
It is a dial with a tremendous impact.

Unfortunately, if you look closely, you can see that there is a crack on the outer circumference of the dial.
The dial has a nice shine and the rest of the watch is in good condition.

Anyway, it has a deep ivory dial.
This is by far the darkest ivory color I have ever seen.
The previous owner's hair seems to be getting darker day by day.
He said, ``I'm sorry.''
Maybe we can expect further evolution!!

The condition is good, there are small scratches on the case and bracelet,

The lugs are thick and the middle case is sturdy.

The edge lines of the bezel are also clearly defined!

The crown guard is also in excellent condition!

The slightly later single bracelet has slight creasing,
condition is good!!
