The dial of the present “Freccione” reference 1655 displays a “T Swiss T” designation underneath 6 o’clock, instead of “T Swiss <25 T”, which later generation dials would feature. The present iteration is a Mark II dial, found on serial numbers between 2.5M and 5.5M, and easily recognizable by the “frog’s foot” crown and the short, serif-less design of the “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” designation. The watch features a correct seconds hand with the luminous lollipop, which was only fitted to this serial number. Offered complete of its original Guarantee dated 1977 and box, the present piece impresses with the astounding condition of both case and dial making an absolutely enchanting piece.
