Dial

Wonderful original gilt chapter ring dial. The dial is still quite glossy, but has some light surface oxidation. This dial has a similar graphic as to its predecessor reference 6610, but is marked SCOC. The tritium hands match the dial beautifully.

Case

Excellent case with even thick lugs has seen only minimal polish during its life. Original bezel remains sharp.

Bracelet

Custom Italian made suede strap.

Comments

These early gilt glossy 3-6-9 dialed explorers with chapter rings are quite rare and extremely undervalued compared to 3-6-9 subs.
