The stainless steel case is a Jumbo model measuring 37.5mm without the crown

The dial is the matt white arctic dial complemented with beautiful blued steel hands

It has just been professionally serviced and a new glass has been fitted. The heavy solid stainless steel case has been ultrasonically clened so is pristine.
