Description

Product Description
Rolex Gilt Explorer dial Super Precision with stainless steel Oyster bracelet.
This model combines the case and movement of an Air-King with the 3, 6 and 9 dial format of the Explorer. The model was originally made available exclusively to British military officers through the NAAF, before later becoming available for general sale.
This particular example is a 'Super Precision', dated from 1962, and features a glossy, gilt dial that is in very good overall condition. The dial exhibits signs of age, which is to be expected from a watch that has, in all likelihood, had an eventful and active life.
This watch comes with a black dial with white baton hour markers and Arabic numerals at 3, 6 and 9.
This watch is in very good working order, however, due to its age, it may not fall under typical tolerances for time-keeping. It may also not be suitable for use in water.
All our watches, as ever, are covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee and 12 month warranty policies, so buy in confidence.
