Orange Waffles - up for sale is a 1945 Oyster in 34mm in stainless steel with manual winding movement. The waffle dial has turned to an orange-pinkish color and shows light wear from age. Another interesting fact about the dial is that the brass markers, be it the indexes, coronet or 12 are recessed into the dial. The watch has a very attractive look and the re-applied luminous dots enhance the look of the hour markers. A very very interesting watch which is almost 80 years old and still it will look great on the wrist

Dial | Very nice waffle dial that has turned to a pinkish orange color. The brass indexes, coronet and 12 are recessed and some hour markers are in the form of pyramids with angular shapes. The tip of the seconds hand is in red enamel. This might have been applied later or original, cannot say as we haven't seen another example with red enamel tip. The luminous material seems to have been re-done a long time ago. The Geiger reacts to the radiation but very little |
