CASE & BRACELET
The unique case is in exceptional condition and believed to remain unpolished, showing only light signs of use. The original bakelite bezel is remarkably well preserved, showing no cracks or major damage, the tritium lume within the bezel all remains fully intact and matches the dial nicely. The case retains its original Favre-Leuba signed screw-down crown. The case back retains all of its original factory markings in excellent condition, the case back is signed Bathy 50, however, we believe this to be correct since the Bathy 160 and 50 retain the same reference and were produced at the same time in extremely low quantities. The original Favre-Leuba NSA bracelet is both rare and in great condition, showing minimal stretch from use.

DIAL & HANDS
The matte black "160-feet" dial with white and red accents is in near flawless condition, showing no signs of age or damage. The tritium lume plots have aged to a charming creamy yellow patina and exhibit no degradation under U.V. light inspection. The original tritium hands have aged a few shades darker than the dial and show no degradation when inspected under U.V. light.

ACCESSORIES
None. The watch was recently serviced and is keeping perfect time. Backed by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
