The present model is still without the crown protector that would later become a normal feature. The term “nipple dial” is used by collectors for the dials with the characteristic round indexes.

The dial and bezel were exchanged at the customer’s request. The watch has age-related signs of wear and damage. The dial has been subsequently gilt.
