DIAL & HANDS

The original blue sunburst dial is both beautiful and in excellent condition, there is some light aging around some of the lume plots which is very common on blue dials from this era. The tritium lume plots have aged to a handsome golden coloration and exhibit no degradation when inspected under U.V. light. The original tritium hands match the dial perfectly and show no degradation under U.V. light inspection. The metallic date wheel is original with open 6's and 9's.
