Ref. 1655: Wow! What a crisp example of one of the most iconic sports watches of the 1970s! This example of the iconic "Freccione" is the epitome of what collectors look for in a vintage piece.

Handled carefully its entire life, the watch is accompanied by an original Explorer booklet in Japanese, as well as various service documents kept by the original owner.
