CASE & BRACELET
The C-shaped case measures 41 millimeters, and is in excellent condition showing signs of gentle polishing in the past and honest signs of use. It features a substantial steel crown set at the 4 o'clock position, moved from its usual spot to lessen the chance of its catching on anything. This deep black bezel exhibits honest wear and the luminous pearl at 12 o'clock has patinated perfectly. The original "Water Proof" case back shows light signs of use with all of the factrot text and markings remaining present and in excellent condition. The watch will come supplie on a tan nylon Zulu Strap.
DIAL & HANDS
The gorgeous matte black dial is in great overall condition, showing subtle aging as expected for a dive watch of this age, and no notable damage. The markers show light aging and the lume has aged to a medium grey coloration with no degradation present under U.V. light inspection. The original hands have aged a few shades lighter than the dial and exhibit no degradation under U.V. light inspection.
ACCESSORIES
