: Valjoux 72 5 caliber with Flyback function.

: Dial
: Beautiful matte black dial which is in absolutely flammable
: condition. Very nice subdials with radially placed numbers.

: balance with the large subdials and red Marine Star symbol.

: Hands
: Original hands that are beautifully aged. The hands are aged very
: nice aged and untouched. The colour is exactly equal to the hour
: indexes.

: Bezel
