Key Features
Vintage French ‘Mini-Rolex-Submariner’ with a distinctive bezel shape, crown guard, and and eye catching black dial offset by yellow lumed numerals. The watch is in great original condition, the dial is just about near-perfect and the movement is like new. Impressively, it still holds WR30M even at its 50 years of age! The timepiece features a simple yet effective military-style black and lume face with the small red accent of the seconds hand giving the whole thing a little pop of colour. The sizing is also a nice, cozy fit, not too large and very comfortable and attractive on the wrist.
