The nickname came from their distinctive squared indices and \"Snowflake\" like hour\/seconds hands. This additional luminous material aided it in being a highly capable tool watch that we now know today has well-documented military use being issued to the French Marine Nationale and other countries' armed forces. Out of all the vintage tool watches the \"Snowflake\" is one of our absolute favorite choices for its distinctive design and special aura that nice examples can convey. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis particular black 761X serial example, circa '72 is a desirable blue variant with roulette \"date.\" This piece has remained in lovely vintage condition with a very well preserved dial that shows no notable wear under magnification. All of the tritium plots have taken a clean and even \"cream\" patina, matching the hands. The insert is equally nice and shows some aging but less wear than we see in most examples. The case is strong with thick, evenly proportioned lugs. It is paired to a later Tudor signed 9315\/380 that shows medium stretch. It retains a strong shield on the clasp, 11 links and will fit an approximate 7.5 inch wrist. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis example is a great option for anyone looking for the charm of a vintage \"Snowflake\" to use as a daily driver. A pressure test receipt from True Patina is included for added peace of mind. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The dial isxcellent with attractive \"buttermilk\" colored tritium plots. The 5 o-clock plot has a touch of spotting but it is not distracting there is no notable wear under magnification. The case remains thick with even lugs and shows honest signs of use consistent with age and a correct signed crown. The bezel insert is aftermarket that we installed for a ghosted grey\/blue look. The pip is service but matches well. We've included an authentic service insert in black to have another option.
