On offer is a fantastic and highly charming vintage Oysterdate, circa 1957. It features a 30mm case which we believe makes it work well as a unisex watch. This piece houses a waffle dial that has taken a warm "tropical" patina. It also has a "roulette" date wheel which flips from black to red every other day. Overall, it has remained in lovely vintage condition with an evenly aged dial, offering great character. The case is equally nice with thick, evenly proportioned lugs. For anyone looking for a smaller timepiece, this "Honeybee" is not likely to be seen anywhere else in the wild. 

Dial: Shows some lume degredation but this is typical in radium dials of the era. Overall it has taken a nice warm off-white "tropical" patina. Correct "roulette" date wheel. Bezel: Normal signs of use and no distracting wear. Hands: Are matching. Case: Retains thick and evenly proportioned lugs. Normal signs of use consistent with age. Correct signed crown. Bracelet: Two piece genuine pig skin strap and generic pin buckle. Crystal: Clear. Accessories: NA The movement is running well on our timegrapher and comes with our 6-month mechanical warranty.
Year/era: 1957 Reference: 6466 Serial: 192XXX Dimensions: 30mm wide, 35mm lug to lug, 17mm lug width. Movement: Manual winding.
