This very example of Explorer reference 1016 watch features the customary 36 mm sized Oyster case that presents no evident signs of wearing, along with an Oyster bracelet in nice conditions as well. Its black matte dial is that introduced in the late 1960s, instead of the previous gilt one, and has a white iconic trio of Arabic numerals at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock with the signature of this model with baton indexes, outer minute/second divisions and luminous steel Mercedes skeleton hands.
