T Swiss Made T. < 25 mcÂ
The Dial is in fantastic condition with no real marks at all.
An absolute Stunner!!
Marked T Swiss Made T for the presence of Tritium and mc25
means that the watch is Swiss and contains a certain quantity of tritium that emits less than 925 MBq (25 mCi).
The Tritium has aged beautifully.
This is the original Untouched Vintage Dial.

THIS IS NOT A REDIAL!!!!
Case & Bezel
Top Quality all Stainless Steel Case.
The Case is in fantastic condition for its age with no real marks to write home about at all.
Most importantly, the case has never been polished, the case edges are still fairly sharp.
Markings to the case back, are still faintly legible.
Bi-Directional Bezel moves nicely in both directions, in good vintage order, some age related marks but nothing awful.
Case approx. measures in at:
Diameter: 36mm
Diameter with Crown: 37.3mm
End of lug to lug: 42.5mm
Lug Spacing: 18mm
This Case was rated 600ft Waterproof back in the Day, it is now a Vintage Timepiece, it has NOT been tested for Water Resistance and if you wish to Submerge this Watch, you will need to have the Watch Professionally Resealed before doing so!!
Hands, Crystal and Crown
Original Hands are in very good order, they have aged beautifully.
A new Divers crystal has been fitted as part of the Service.
The Original Crown was badly worn and stem had some water ingress so we have swapped these both as part of the Service.
Strap
On a new 18mm Handmade Grey Olive Leather Strap, with Steel buckle that compliments the Watch very well indeed.
Comes with a free GungaDin Watch Box as pictured.
