Notes
This particular example has features usually not found on the regular Atoll model such as the dial that does not feature the model name, its blue color as well as the blue bezel and the large orange minute hand. Kept in new old stock condition still featuring its caseback sticker it is probable that this was a pre-production model.
Provenance
Property of a Swiss collector
