1975 - 9121/0 (rotating bezel version) in non-sunburst blue - bezels inserts can turn lilac on these. Dial sometimes has ‘chrono-time’ printed.

A very well-worn/scruffy 9140/0 from 1976, the blue dial and (especially) the blue rehaut, have turned a metallic gold colour!

Just in 18239

Not super vintage, but still a tritium dial.







Gold is so special.

Nice find!
That is my favorite roman day-date dial.
I've spent endless searches trying to find one in white gold to put in my platinum DD, but finally gave up.
I am envious!

Thanks. I actually didn't know the dial was a rarer one, but have heard that from several. I traded a lovely MOP Roman 16203 with oyster and smooth bezels towards it.
