Day date question

Does anyone know when they first made the hidden clasp on the day date? My buddy has this one and I was curious when they made it

The concealed clasp was a $75 option that started in 1969.

The crown on clasp looks like it is pretty good shape!

Can you post more pictures of this watch?
