CASE & BRACELET
The 33mm stainless steel case is in fantastic condition with beautiful and long three-faced lugs. The length of the lugs creates a more imposing presence on the wrist than the 32mm size would suggest. The watch also features a screw-down, stainless steel case back and comes supplied 2pc handmade leather strap.
DIAL & HANDS
The goergeous dial is characteristic of this era, having aged to a fantastic two-tone aesthetic. The inner dial is silver with patina spots fanning out from the center, while the outer dial has aged slightly and taken on some tan and brown colors. Layed over this outer track is a mix of Arabic numerals and long dual chevron-shaped markers, all in raised stainless steel. The original radium lume plots have taken on a dark patina, and exhibit no major degradation when inspected under U.V. light. The original radium dauphine hands match the dial perfectly with no degradation present when inspected under U.V. light.
ACCESSORIES
None. The watch is keeping time, previous service history is unknown.
