Notes

Made in 2 versions, one featuring a sub-second, the other centerseconds such as this example, with some delivered to the Czech army recognisable by a stamp on the upper left lug or later military assignment numbers on the caseback. This civilian version has been maintained in excellent condition featuring an extremely well preserved thick stainless steel case and a nice original dial.
