CASE & BRACELET
The stainless steel case measures in at an arguably perfect 38 millimeters, with just the right thickness to create a fantastic wearing experience. The lugs are angled and wide, the perfect subtle compliments to the rest of the case design. The case retains its original quick set button and offest crown that resides at the 4 o'clock position. The watch comes supplied on a 2pc handmade leather strap.
DIAL & HANDS
The dial is an absolutely stunning and dramatic silver sunburst. The light explodes from the center before being halted by an off-white outer minute track. The dial features day and date complications at 3 o'clock and spectacular double chevron hour markers. The dial does exhibit some aging and some light cracking in the top lacquer, though it does little to distract for the presence of the dial.
ACCESSORIES
None. Watch is functioning perfectly and keeping time, previous service history is unknown.
