The robust case design with a rotatable outer bezel offers a unique tactical and adventurous look.

Condition Report:
Case & Bezel: Good vintage condition, showing authentic signs of wear. There are visible surface hairline scratches and minor scuffs on the stainless steel finish, particularly on the bezel surfaces, side profile, and the outer edges of the case/lugs. The black enamel fillings on the bezel numbers and indices remain mostly intact and clear.
Hinged Mechanism & Compass: The flip-open hinge mechanism works smoothly and opens fully to a stable position. It locks correctly and securely when closed. The internal compass glass, fluid, and graduation markings are in excellent, clean condition.
