Notes
Known as the "Overtone" or big Bubbleback due to its impressive 36 mm size for a 1950's watch and its domed caseback to fit its automatic movement. This is an especially attractive version of this reference as it has beautiful silver non luminous dial with applied steel baton indexes and matching dauphine hands.
