The case back is in clean overall condition with gentle and expected elements of previous wear, The watch comes supplied on a 2pc handmade leather strap.
DIAL & HANDS
The original "OCC" dial predates the more commonly seen "SCOC" dials of the 1960s and is in impressively well-preserved condition for its age. The silver dial features concentric brushing which is only characteristic of 1950s dials and offers a unique of-the-era aesthetic that is downright beautiful. The dial does exhibit some gentle aging which is expected, however, the aging is tasteful and enhances the vintage appearance and warmth of the watch overall. The radium lume plots remain mostly intact but do exhibit general degradation when inspected under UV light. The original gold alpha-style radium lumed hands match the dial and display no degradation under UV light inspection.
