Production was small and the limited editions smaller still, and the line was withdrawn after little more than a decade, which has made its bolder dials quietly sought after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalibre:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5R66 Spring Drive, as engraved 5R66-0AC1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, Roman numerals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black leather, folding clasp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Presentation box and booklet as pictured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes are measured by hand; please allow a small margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight scratches consistent with wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition is to be judged from the photographs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eB (very good)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReference and movement are given and as engraved on the case.
