Reference photography not yet on file

The second Tuna and the first with a quartz movement. The gold colour is a titanium-nitride coating applied to the shroud, not plating and not a finish that can be polished back — hence the nickname. Worn by Roger Moore in For Your Eyes Only (1981).

Some specifications for this reference require verification against manufacturer documentation.
