Reference photography not yet on file

The original, produced through the quartz crisis in both mechanical and quartz forms. Recorded as a named reference: period reference conventions are not established here and the catalog does not invent numbers. The integrated bracelet is the practical authentication and condition issue, as it is on every watch of this construction — it cannot be swapped for a generic replacement, so a stretched or damaged one is expensive and a replacement one is hard to find.

Some specifications for this reference require verification against manufacturer documentation.
