Features: Stunning original glossy black dial has aged to an incredible "tropical" dark brown hue throughout; original handset with desirable "broad-arrow" hour hand and red "lollipop" chronograph sweeping-seconds hand; 30-minute chronograph recording capability with 5-minute red regatta countdown; original rotating dive bezel displays elapsed time and a second time zone; domed acrylic crystal

Other: It is very rare to see a glossy black dial turn tropical brown over time, but when it does, it looks absolutely incredible (especially out in the sun). The dial is a different shade of brown in every lighting condition. It's no wonder why tropical dials are so hot right now and commanding huge premiums in the market... If you've been looking for an honest original example with a chocolate brown dial, this is it!
