Staff Comment

This Explorer was produced at the end of the 1960's. The crown mark at 12 o'clock on the dial is shaped like a frog's foot.
The crown mark at 12 o'clock on the dial is shaped like a frog's foot.
The overall uniform and light ageing of the watch has a very good atmosphere.
The bracelet comes with a genuine US Cromwell riveted bracelet (ear cord 69), which is in relatively good condition with little stretching or distortion considering the time of manufacture.
Overhauled at our own workshop in March 2024.
