Notes

Often found in poor condition due to their age now approaching almost 85 years old, this 30 Compax reference 22213 has been kept in great condition not only featuring a screw down caseback but with crisp and deep case and reference numbers, but the dial apart from some light oxydation is in great condition still amazingly with its original radium on the indexes. A great black dialed example that are becoming increasingly hard to find in this
condition.
